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

Sounds like you did the right things. Static timing is a good place to start. With 15 degrees initial and 15 degrees centrifigal (re-curved dizzy) you are at 30 degrees total which should be fine. I

You can use a switch from a 510, just swap the the electrics (may not be required) and the stalk. Mount it 180 deg from the 510 position. Other than the stalk (bent and shorter on the 510) the switc
