checked the dizzy and it only goes in one way..checked all the timing and everything is good.compression is like 170 across...with the timing light says its off by a notch.it sounds like a lawn mower....i think i have the upside down dizzy..plus i have to have the dizzy unbolted and i turn it towards the header and it sounds smotther.i did that when i had the timing gun..
