Thats an FB dizzy (81-85). You can get the FSM at http://foxed.ca/index.php?page=rx7manual#firstgen.
You can adjust the mag pickups but thats about it.

I would do a tuneup first. Replace wires, make sure grounds are good, new plugs, cap rotor etc.
If you still have issues look in the FSM for testing the ignitors. Sometimes they go bad
but not often. Its usually some supporting issue like connections and wires.

All that said, it may have nothing to do with the dizzy or the carb.

FB signifies the 81-85 RX7's. It comes from the first 2 digits of the VIN #.

So, in conclusion, my 1975 13 B engine, which was identified by the engine logo ,has a distributor from a FB (1981-85) RX 7 in it? Is this correct?

I will be looking for other surprises in this Old Girl. Stay tuned
