I want to use a locked distributor because on my engine the cam rotates
backwards, hence the distributor has to have mirror image centrifigal
advance weights. While the one reverse dizzy I have is fine, I like to have
a spare set up and ready to go, and a second reverse rotation Ford dizzy
appears to be unobtainium. So I thought I'd experiment with a locked unit,
and asked for advice and comments, and I appreciate yours. One idea I just
had, while writing this, is that since the dizzy is backwards, vacuum
advance becomes vacuum retard. maybe i can hook a cable to the vacuum
retard plate to manually retard the unit for starting, with hefty spring to
keep it at full advance while running? Might work ok...
