I'm not sure if this is mechanical or electrical .. (probably both) ..

I have a "DM2" dizzy that apprears ok ..

the dizzy in the car has "25" where DM2 is on the "Spare" dizzy ...

If I swap them with anything terrible happen ? (Or nothing at all)

Provided they have the same mounting to the block - swop away. Why do you want to do this ?

I went to change the points on "Pod" and found that the plate you mount the contact breakers on was very loose in the up/Down way and found that there was no way that new set of contact breakers would fit and gap. When I took it out I found that bit of it were very very bent ..

I don't know how this happened but it explains why it was running so roughly ..

With my "Spares Car" I got four boxes of "Bits" including this "DM2" dizzy ..

It works and the car runs beatifully There was "O" ring on the 25 Dizzy that isn't on the DM2 so I assume that the clamp bolt won't be rusted solid next time I need to move it ..

Excellent work! Well done indeed

Well done - just check the vacuum unit still works - the diaphragm usually fails after about 10 years - and the centrifugal advance is free and moving ok.
