I have over two dozen good used vac advance dizzies on the shelf waiting for new homes.

I’ve looked at these for the past few months. Looks like a nice piece of kit. 
Did you get the front mats as well??

I only bought the rear cargo mat. The front floor mats did not have all the cut outs for seat brackets like Cruiser Corps version or SOR.I’ve looked at these for the past few months. Looks like a nice piece of kit.

Flared and bent a new stainless steel line for the 4x4 vacuum actuator on the firewall to match the stainless brake hardlines. For what it's worth, I used the slightly longer Dorman 10mm tube nuts.
@Green Bean interesting that you mentioned using the longer nuts… I did this as well for the clutch lines….at the time, I did not like the depth of screw thread that was needed to seal the line and saw them on-line so I bought a bag. Once installed, it looked “normal”
That looks great.
Those Pertronix ignitors are getting expensive, so for now I keep the old points and condenser in a zip-loc bag in the glove box. And the spare dizzy and ignitor in a box in the back.
Covered (poorly) that big hole in the firewall left over from when I took out the heater blower motor a couple years ago. This gives me almost a whole square foot of new room to screw things to. Maybe I can clean that mess of wiring that's been accumulating for so long.
easy install? Does the dizzy need to be removed, can can the Pertronix be installed by just removing the cap?
yes. just pull the points/ condensor and install the pertronix (2 screws) then run the 2 wires to the (+) and (-) on the coil. Recommend getting the pertronix flame thrower coil as well and disconnecting the ignitor (ignitor is only needed to keep the points from welding together)
Also best to recheck the timing, but mine was still dead on after the install.
awesome, adding to my next weekend project! Getting the coil as well!
what is involved with disconnecting the ignitor?
How much for a nice one Mark?I have over two dozen good used vac advance dizzies on the shelf waiting for new homes.
just remove ignitor and current coil with a couple of bolts. I ordered a new coil bracket with the new coil, but many reuse the old bracket (if I remember correctly, the flame thrower is a little larger diameter coil than oem, thus a tight fit in the oem bracket). I believe its the 0.6 ohm coil (search the threads and someone will have previously posted the correct model)

They are also really good on the phone making sure you get what you need.
and Mark @65swb45 can also set you up with everything if you want to go that route
My dizzy was in my hand 'cause I was swapping dizzys too. It's easier with the dizzy out of the rig but can be done with it still in.
Be careful not to drop one of the little screws or you will be pulling the dizzy. Also has a tiny little braided ground strap to attach between the dizzy body and the ignitor plate. Might be hard with the dizzy in.
Yep, going to get with Mark @65swb45 for a one stop shop option. That way the dizzy can come ready to install and I always love supporting a MUD OG!
