Mike -
You can pull the dizzy from the engine but you have to make a note of the
rotor position as the 100 motor's distributor is connected to the dizzy
drive like most Detroit iron.
The points and condenser for the Lucas DM2 dizzy is not a the most common
Lucas set up, but maybe a NAPA will have it in their warehouse - only way to
know is go and ask. that being said if you have a "short" in there, it
suggests the condensor is bad (the points should be fine) - if this is the
case.... any Lucas condensor should work in there, even if it doesn't fit
exactly, it'll work.
If you have a short in the distributor, you may also have a cracked cap -
not necessarily a bad condensor.
