where can i buy a dizzy rebuild kit for a 12A?

 

Nowhere AFAIK. Whats wrong with it?

 

You can get full rebuilt units from UAP/NAPA for a reasonable price, but I've never heard of a rebuilt kit for the 12A dizzy.

 

i havent taken it apart yet so i dont know what exactly is wrong but i dont think theres enough spark voltage because when i took the plugs out there was fuel in the sockets and it misfires when idling.

 

Well the dizzy is a mechanical device. It has no bearing on voltage of your ign system.

 

umm i thought that when the contacts or points or whatever they are called become coroded that the voltage drops

 

Well then you change the points. And btw, only 79's had points.

 

take off the distributer cap and wiggle the rotor button on it... if it wiggles more than like 4 mm or sumtin then you might want to hunt down a new ditributer....



i would go ahead and do a full tune up on the ignition side

---distributer cap

---distributer rotor button

---new spark plugs

---new spark plug wires


Might want to also look into

-air filter

-fuel filter

-new oil

-new oil filter

 

everything you have mentioned i have done recently except the dizzy cap and rotor button. my plugs only have like 2000 miles on them

 

Only buy Mazda caps and rotors. They have brass terminals which WAY outlast the tin aftermarket crap.

 

cool, thanks for da tip
