87 Hilux Questions

Post by Eyez »

Hey all,

I have a couple of quick questions regarding a 1987 Toyota Hilux 4x4.
Firstly, can I fit a std front bumper from a 90's model Hilux to my 87 model ?
Secondly, I want to convert the ignition system to electronic but I need some pointers as to whats invloved and parts I'll need.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers

Stuart

Hi, I just put electronic ignition on my 84 hilux. It has a 3Y in it. I just got a later model electronic ifnition and it went straight in. It has the coil in the dizzy cap so I got rid of the old one and wiring and connected the new one straight in. Very easy operation and made a big differance.

I did it to my 4Y with http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CORVAIR- ... ccessories

Not that one specifically but the same brand and suited to the 4y.
They pop up in aus ebay stores every now and then, works perfectly.
