I live in Asheville and I don't know of any junk yards with many midgets on this side of the mountain. What are you needing?

Oh man i Love asheville!. I saw a girl from there for awhile.

I'm really just looking right now. i have not got the car running yet. one thing i would like to find is the correct electronic dizzy for the car. someone stuck and older 1275 points dizzy in there. then when i get it running i need to find a good rebuildable master cylinder and a steering colum with a key and working steering lock. just lot of goodies. there use to be a guy here in Bristol that had about 40 midgets and many Austin healeys but he has since moved on and now in to miata's
 
No, you don't want the original electronic ignition in there, trust me. Most of those have thankfully been tossed by now. They didn't refer to the OPUS ignition as the "Croakus" for nothing!
Stick with the far more reliable one you have.

so i wont have dwell issues with a point dizzy in a motor designed for a electronic?
 
The engine was designed to run with spark. It doesn't care where it comes from. The original electronic setups were nothing but problems from day one. You could always convert the points distributor over to a Pertronix or Crane system, which eliminates the points.
Personally, I've never had any problems running points, and that includes high rpm race engines.
