get the front cover and dizzy from a later model 12a and swap them out. changing out the dual points style dizzys for a single electronic one, along with the diamond coils, will give u a more dependable ignition system.

All that feed back is good, BUT, keep in mind that there are point coils and they are electronic coils, DON'T MIX THEM, then your thinking what the F### it puts out a spark a mile long it got to work

Matt,
Let me know if you do change to a single dizzy.I just purchased a 73 stock twin dizzy RX2 and I'm already dreading having to tune the motor with those Damn Points.Last time I owned a Twin Dizzy I was about knee high to a grasshopper and I could not get that motor to run right! Either I have to learn how to Tune a twin Dizzy or change to a single electronic Dizzy.
