    Yes,
    It is a magneto & distributer combonation. Everything is in the metal enclousure. You can get away with cleaning the points, resetting them & checking the capacitor. Clean the rotor & cap with Q tips & contact cleaner. Some had problems with the caps arcing. look for hairline cracks & note they are not available except e bay any more.
