See if the tang on the bottom of the shaft & the rotor location phasing are the same in both dizzys. I would turn timing marks to 10BTDC #1 compression (15 if wild cam) & turn housing till vac adv is in it's general location w magnet lined up dead even w nearest tooth w the rotor at #1 cap terminal

After you turn the magnet dead even w the tooth/lightly snug the housing then set the gap to .008". No closer as vac adv will shorten that as it is on an eccentric plate

Any ideas what was wrong with that stock unit?
When you take the new one out to reclock it so it's pointing correct & to hookup the vac hose look at them side by side & compare the rotor/tang/pickup phasing. For instance holding both in your hands w the magnets lined up dead even w the same tooth on both are both bottom tangs parallel and are both rotors pointing the same like say 2 o'clock. That only leaves springs/slot length/amt of adv in each of the cans EDIT yes I would replace the heavy spring w long loop on one end & curve will need 2 be dialed in

Move all the wires around the cap 1 or 2 holes to reclock. Example: if # 1 wire is at front, disconnect it, turn dizzy to desired clocking, and see which hole #1 needs to be in to still be at front. move wires accordingly.

If you have room 2 turn the housing if need b & it's timed at ~ 10-15 BTDC & it runs good & total (check w vac adv plugged) is 36-38 & it ain't pinging you're good 4 now

No, I didn't turn the engine over while the dist. was out. And the gear didn't come out. (Big blocks have slot, small blocks have gear?)
I like the idea of just moving the wires, I think I'll do that.
only suggested it cause the last time i pulled my dizzy it pulled the drive shaft up enough for the gear to jump a couple of teeth which totally threw off my timing (or wire position, which ever way you want to look at it)

grab fan belt & turn it a bit (either way) till the magnet is lined up dead even w the nearest tooth then move the housing CCW till the magnet lines up w a tooth 2 teeth over then shift the wires back CW 2 terminals. This'll keep your timing near where it was so it'll start easy

happens all the time and that is what my bet would be!
