80's corona's and hiluxs i guess have the 22r, and 22re

Im also on the hunt for a Electronic ignition for my hilux's 18r,
do a search on the old forum i think...sure i found some stuff, ill go see if i can find it again!

as Mr Toyota said, 80s Ronas, Hiluxes have them... although the hiluxes frequently seem to have the carbied version (?).

the RA65 celica (1982ish-1985) also has the 22r-e

[Mr_Toyota]

oh yeah the celica aswell,

22r is carby version im pretty sure, and 22re the EFI one...

Dont know, but im sure its better to be "out" with the points and "in" with electronic stuff...

Electronic ignition would be smoother, and more efficent id presume.

Twin point dizzy = points = hassle. It's fun (not) getting the dwell angle right with single points. With twins things would become even more complicated.

The advantage of electronic ignition is that it's basically fit, time and forget. No points to wear out.

Besides, I'm sure a DIY 22R electronic innards into an 18R dizzy is going to be a lot cheaper than that. Last time I bought an electronic dizzy and coil from Pick-A-Part it cost me $37.00. Although you will still have the standard advance curve.

Cheers,

[Mr_Toyota]

So the advance curve would be suited to the 22RE??,

Can it be adjusted at a dizzy shop to recurve to suit the 18r?..any benifit doing this if its possible?

If you use the 22R electronic bits only in the 18R dizzy, your advance weights etc are unchanged. So no issue.

You can also use the internals and coil-igniter from a 21R which are in the RA 60 Celicas also.I'm about to do this conversion also to an 18RG.As to the mallory dizzy they are hard to get bits for plus it still uses points.

RA60 wikid, seen one at the local wreckers the other day..

Will get some pics an stuff up when i get around to do it..

whats the igniter look like?...is it a small box thingy next to the coil (which i need aswell right?)...

[ViPeR_NiPPleX]

from memory its a black box, or possibly silver, sits ontop of the coil, mounted to the same bracket. Just grab them both, saves the hassle of pulling it apart.

PS. Hosking mate, you want "Electronic".... all ignition systems are electric lol
