The wiring harness is fried. I will be rewiring the whole truck. I am looking to swap my points ignition system with an electronic system from a 78. I was told the 1975 distributor was a one year thing, and only a 1975 distributor will bolt to a 1975 head.
I hope this is not the case............Thoughts?]]> 12 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 03:06:14 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/74-hilxux-turn-signal-woes.28511/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/74-hilxux-turn-signal-woes.28511/ invalid@example.com (northoak) northoak
I swapped in another bulb to confirm that the bulb is ok.

I also assume if the relay is bad neither side would work? is this incorrect

Any tips on what to check beyond shorts are much appreciated.]]> 4 Tue, 15 Jun 2021 23:27:42 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/steering-wheel-compatibility.27433/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/steering-wheel-compatibility.27433/ invalid@example.com (THorn) THorn 4 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 21:07:21 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/1974-hilux-suddenly-has-no-power.26396/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/1974-hilux-suddenly-has-no-power.26396/ invalid@example.com (Spuds) Spuds

Is there one wire to the fuses? Or are there multiple and what side of the engine bay do i need to look at?

Also there is nothing between the alt and battery. Do i just run one straight between them?

I've recently installed a pertronix electric ignitor system to replace the points in the distributor. I was able to get the truck to start and idle smoothly for about 10 minutes. I took it around the block and it died, since then I haven't been able to get it started. Pulled a spark plug and getting no visible spark.

I've double checked all the connections and the grounds. Is anyone running a similar set up?

Anyone see something painfully obvious in this picture? Also, hate to...
