I installed my '75 dizzy per diagrams I found. It works. I have a couple follow-up questions.

1. Does the ballast resister get warm in use? Mine felt rather warm.

2. Can you replace the coil with one that has an internal resister? The coil I pulled had no external resister.

3. Setting timing correct has the electrical connector against the block. Anyone have a pix of a 75 dizzy installed that shows orientation of connector and retard vacuum device? I read somewhere that someone reversed the foot to allow timing to be set correctly. The timing retard was hitting on the block.
