a lot of the datsun guys run a dizzy from a later model version of the same engine......but in the states they don't have as many of them, so a lot of them run a aftermarket kit from a company called " Petronix " ( look it up in a search engine or something ).

I am pretty sure that they sell a kit for most old cars to convert to electronic IGN.

the kit fits inside your existing distributor, and replaces the points with a wheel with slits cut in it, and a light sensor thingie to trip the transistor unit.

I'm told an old Accord dizzy can be very easily adapted - ie the toothed wheel from the Escort dizzy can be easly pressed on to the Accord's shaft by a machine shop.

Take an Esky dizzy into a japanese car wreckers and see what looks right.

And let us know what fits... :)
