I am just setting up a grey motor I have rebuilt and was wondering if anyone knows what dwell angle should be on it using the original Bosch Dissy or do I just set the gap and leave it.
Also I am chasing a vacuum advance diaphragm as mine just don't work thanks all.

36-41 degrees. But just set the point gap anywhere between 0.012"-0.016".
There's a bloke in Queensland who sells rebuilt vacuum advance units. He should be Googlable.

. . . except that the Rare Spares units look like they're for red/blue/black motor Bosch distributors. They won't fit a grey distributor.

Don't know about Accuspark, but I can recommend the Pertronix ignition module, with the following warnings -
Your distributor needs to be in excellent condition (centrifugal advance working, with no wear in the parts; no end float in the shaft; vacuum advance working, and ground braid in good condition) before you install the module.
The magnet sleeve is difficult to install over the distributor cam.
You need to grind a small amount of material off the vacuum advance pull rod anchor bracket to clear the magnet sleeve.
