They are keyed so you can put it on 180 off. If you notice one of the 2 little prongs is a little thicker. After you bold it down(not all the way) you have to set base timing.

Ok, thats my helpful post for the month, back to being and ass!

yep, as said above you cannot really put in in wrong because the keys are slightly different thickness.

There is a difference between the plugs on an OBD-0 and OBD-1 distributor. I know on the D-Series some of the dizzys don't mount up properly due to the arms being at different places and angles.

ok now heres my hypothesis,, to me it sounds like you have a bad ground on your harness.. have you tried taking your bad dizzy and putting it on someone elses car? id be willing to bet your losing ground connection somwhere.. thats exactly what was goin wrong with my car. i went through 3 dizzy's before realizing my harness wasnt properly grounded right
