Lol, no that is completely normal if the dizzy is off the car.


Now if the dizzy spins freely while it's ON the car, you have problems.

I hope it spins free otherwise you would have a hell of a problem.
is there a concern that made you take the dizzy off.

A good dizzy shouuld be able to rotate 360* with out any effort if your old one doesn't spin free use the inside parts and put them into the dizzy case that spins
free. just make sure when you put the piece that goes back in the cam on that its 180* off on the dizzy shaft before you put the retaining pin in.

also i swapped the dizzy cap from the y7 on the z6 dizzy cuz it was in better condition, that isnt going to affect how the spark plugs go in are they? same cap right?

the main relay is under the dash, and check your coil, or ignitor, in your dizzy
