Marc,
What he meant is that the dizzy in the 60 series has electronic iginition. It also has a fully sealed cap, and a larger diameter cap, which are all preferable traits. The sealed cap, uses an O-ring and bolts to secure the cap and seal, along with vents into the cab under the glovebox, so water cannot get in it. The larger cap virtually elimnates any chance of misfires between spark plug wire posts. But most importantly the dissy is very well contructed, and utilizes electronics to determine when to fire the spark. It will have some mechanical advance, plus the two vacum actuated advancers.
Trollholes dissy is a copy of a very simple vacum advance distributor used on cruisers in the early years and in genearl markets worldwide after that. I uses mechanical points for timing the spark however, and smaller lid, etc... that would be a big step back for you. Points will require some upkeep and tuning to keep running at their prime. I can say from personal experience that a dizzy in a 60 will work flawlessly with almost no attention for a very, very long time.
Trolls dizzys are a nice upgrade for earlier cruisers, becasue many had vacum retard emmision controlled distributors that really hamper how the engine performs.
