Well next weekend my dad and I are going to pick up a 72 RX-3. Its pretty clean hardly any rust but missing a few parts. I will post some picture when we pick it up, It has two dizzys on it I have never seen that before and 3 sets of points my dad says. can it be converted over to a non-points type ignition?

My '73 RX-2 had 2 distributors. 3 sets of points sounds vaguely familiar also, but it's been a while.

Well we got it home tonight..its to dark for pictures so I will snap some in the morning. This car looks like it was a serious racer it had slicks in the back seat and SCCA & IMSA stickers on it. Body is not in bad shape, has some dings I think most are maybe battle scars. but very little surface rust.
