They are not exactly the same - but the description of this one should fit your dizzy. The connection at the end of the wire is unclear in the picture - at worst you may have to modify that - but I think it will be ok. It's quite expensive BTW! I usually only pay 50p or £1 !! Would be wise to fit new points - and a new 'low voltage wire' while in there - then it's all new!

just a little suggestion i would convert to a elctronic system there super easy to install and make a world of diffrencei couldnt get ours to run hardly at all i put a electronic system in it she purrs like a kitten even with the worn out distrubtor (which we are replacing soon) well worth money just to not ever have have to deal with points again.
Now on our distrubtor i had to modify the pivot pin for the advanceing plate cause it was to tall Just wacked it off with a cut off wheel in about second.
here in the states the most comon system is called petronix i dont what you guys have over the pond.

I suspect you mean 'pertronix'. I prefer to stick with good old points- easily sorted at the side of the road. But I agree - pertronix is one of the better electronic conversions - if you want to go that route.
