Would a vacuum advance dizzy be worthwhile?
I have heard of guys driving with the cover off while another cranks the distrubutor to dial in more advance for them. So while it is scary standing still, I imagine it is much worse while driving.
I think you are supposed to unhook the vacum line to your distributer while you set your static timing.
