It almost has to be a Djet the Ljet has a big ugly box before the ugly airfilter, the air flow sensor. Also my stock 1972 1.7 has Djet. I doupt it was an factory option, lets see Ljet or Djet ??? Take the cap off lay it to the side, pull the green point's wire off the coil, 10mm wrench loosen timing clamp, pop off adv vac hoses, and trigger pts wire, spin dist all d way left, 13mm nut on block remove, pull the dist then trigger points then advance plate clean clean clean then lube then ohm with meter. Mine had rust stains on dist cam lobes and one of the trigger points had gummy feeling movment had to lube the piviot. The dist can only go back one way offset slot. But you will need a timing light. Always set your points/dwell before the timing light. Do the points up grade apx $80. Im doing mine asap$$$ as my timing mark jumps around setting tring to set the timing.
