I dont think that all the twin dist motors had those. I had one with the 2 distributor setup and it had a more conventional exhaust port on it. I agree though that was probably a 10 a or a very early 12a for an Rx2. It may have never come to the us. I think that all the us cars had the single exhaust port

no they are definately twin dizzy, your engine must have been rebuilt at some stage with later housings, they were done like this because all early engines had 6mm carbon seals which meant they had a seal leaning angle of 6 rather than the tradional 7 and could easily chip if running over the large port type housings

Mazda made both 10a and 12a twin dizzy housings with the 3-hole or a single oval exhaust port. Your idea about the chipping apex seals is not right - the three holes was an attempt by Mazda to keep the noise down.
The ones in the pic (at the top) are RX3 10a, as mentioned earlier

Here are 3 different type of 10a housings:
I have been running this type of exhaust port in my 10a for a while, and have not lost an apex seal yet...

Those are not my auctions. I found them when I search for Cosmo and RX-7 parts. I might take you up on the 10a parts as im working getting a Cosmo Sports. I have a family friend whos dad bought one in 67 and parked it in 76. needs alot of love. He would not sell it before becuase it was his very 1st car. now he is older and knows im a rotary freak. He has been hinting that is taking up space.
