Electronic Ignition enquiry

I have an old 1978 Yale GPO50. which has had a hard life but it is still chugging away. The biggest issue I have is the ignition, it is mainly used on dusty dirt and I am forever pulling apart the distributer and cleaning it out because its running rough. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket electronic ignition for these old girls. I think it has the Mazda FE engine but can't really see any distinguishing markers, no idea what disi it uses, any help would be muchly appreciated.

Cheers

In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
