	If it is the EFI dizzy with the plug directly on the side of the body then it needs the ECU for advance and retard as the EFi dizzy has a lcoked shaft (no vacume advance). the 1600 one will do better but not ideal, used many a 1600 dizzy on a 2.0 and TBH after this long even the right dizzy will be out a bit due to wear so it's not a problem. Best option is a carb version of the leccy dizzy with the lead from it to the plug
