Daniel,
You have several options; get a new electronic one from a supplier (Dean
has a nice one), use a Pertronics to replace the points (but this won't
fix worn out bushings), or convert a 79-82 Nissan 310 (rear wheel drive)
dizzy to use in the roadster.
I am in the process of doing the latter. You need to swap the dizzy
shafts, use a longer screw and spacer to attach the electronic dizzy
rotor shaft to the roadster shaft. Note examine the donner dizzy
carefully at the wrecking yard, the vacuum advance often leaks or the
breaker plate may be frozen. Also make sure the magnet and reluctor tips
are not damaged. I had to combine parts from three dizzies to get one
good one. Also check the archives and Jason's excellent tech page for
dizzy specs and tips
