I am converting to an electronic ignition. The engine is a 1974 2.0 with the original fuel injection. I have new trigger points and a new dizzy base plate from AA.

I have the following parts…

• 1972 1.8 Dizzy
• 1974 1.7 Dizzy
• 1974 2.0 Dizzy – Correct part for the car. # 231 174 011
• A VW one the P.O. had put on the car.

The 2.0 one is sloppy to say the least. What can I swap and should I build the best one from the parts. What advice do you have as this is not my area of expertise.

I do have a meter for dwell and a timing light, so I think I can get this work done.

the vacuum advance dashpot is bad

Most of the ones I've seen leak at the vacuum port. A little JB weld or other epoxy and they're fine. At least for awhile.
