I was just thinking about this. I have a timing light. When I first converted over to an HEI dizzy, I timed it to 8 degrees BTDC. When I reinstalled it the other day, I couldn't find the timing mark with the light. I marked the indention with white chalk and still couldn't find it. I looked again today and still couldn't see it. Both times the vacuum cannister has been unplugged. The dizzy was new about a year ago. Is it possible that the dizzy advance mechanism is stuck?? This would lead it to getting hot correct???
