use a single dizzy front cover or from a 1st gen and simple rewiring of the 1st gen dizzy to coils.

The problem around here is ignitors. People steal them from the scrap yard, so if you grab an 82-85 distributor and front cover, make sure that the ignitors are on there too - easy to miss.

but sir, no one pays attention to 1st gen parts here in Socal except me so I take the igniters along with trigger wires. In addition, its not stealing since I paid my entrance fee. I call it "free pocket items."
