Chris and Mike,
        45DE4 was the original crappy dizzy with the integral vacuum and 
amplifier
bit hanging off the side. Your car probably had the opportunity to be
changed over to the "Constant Energy" dizzy which is a 45DM4.
This one looks more conventional. This was standard practice at dealers and
parts stores for a customer who was having problems with intermittant
stopping (or running). This was a Lucas up-grade (and slight admission of
guilt) Heavy details on request. Email me off list.
