Pop the cap. 1980 is not a crank angle sensor system. Should be dual or single points. Mechanical, electrical, or vacuum advance. Just pop the cap off, and do some looking.

There is usually a stamp on the side of the base. Can't see anything?
I don't have my original dizzy, or I would be able to help more.

The base, and metal case should have something stamped somewhere. If nothing else just a P/N that you can reference.
I would think type would be more important than brand.
