You could have a look at the distributor cap.
If you look from above and the ht leads are equally spaced (ie 60 degrees from each other, then it will be an even fire.

I am not sure on engine numbers and stuff.

Funny they should change them, but my point is they re-made the crank to even fire and then remanufactured new dizzy caps to suit, so really unless the splines dont fit there cant be any reason why they cant be fitted. And i reckon the castings are still the same as well just curious ( not bi lol ) TT

I see. Do you have any long term plans for a more permanent job that won't blow up?
