However, Anyone that has converted to a Dyna S from points should have just the cam lobe for you. When they convert to the Dyna S they have to remove it and replace it with a magnetic rotor that comes with the Dyna S.
I would post a thread in the electrical forum and ask Dyna S users (on KZ 650's) if they want to sell the points cam.

The ones for electronic ignitions will be smooth with a magnet imbedded, or will have a point to be sensed by a pickup, or will have a big plastic round thing for a light sensor.
I bet you could get a points cam from a member here with a 650 who did the conversion.

Brand new, rare, and cheap (at the moment).
That is what it looks like (the bolt and end nut are missing). Notice how the outer part of the shaft is not centered with the hole. It's because it is a cam. The thick part goes around, it pushes on the points to open them.

its a really old electronic ignition the advance jus goes through the middle and at end of the advance cam is two prongs/slots for a nut to fit into
It sounds like the whole rotor is missing. Someone must have taken the rotor and all you are seeing is the shaft of the advancer unit. (The rotor of an electronic ignition is what replaces the points cam.)
EDIT: this can't be right if you are getting spark on one of the coils.
