It is time to learn something new and any help here would be appreciated. I almost climbed all the way into the engine compartment to see the numbers on my dizzy.
The numbers that I could see were:
J FUD 4
0 231 181 012
I really don't know where to start looking, so to Itinerant I turn.
Once I know what I have I can get some new parts.
Thank you

Karl,
When you indicate that it was originally equipped with a speed limiting rotor does that mean that there is just a cap at 5400 rpm? Can I put the cheaper rotor on that is not speed limiting without muffing things up?
What does one usually purchase when replacing typical wear parts in a distributor? I understand that most have a backup on hand and I do not.
Thanks
David
