The best people to ask about a new vacuum advance can would be your nearest friendly Datsun / Nissan dealer, as this part is likely to be "genuine" only. It's not the sort of thing that the aftermarket handled a lot.

Are these settings the same for an A15?

Dwell is 49-52 degrees. New points can be set with the gap mentioned above. Used points should be set with a dwell meter. US models use 5 degrees timing. For any car, you can use the most timing that doesn't cause pinging (for an A12, usually 5-10).
