Vacuum advance is already disabled. See the diaphragm coming off the side of your dizzy on the block side? That's the vacuum advance diaphragm. There's no vacuum hose on yours so it's not working.

That loom looks like it must have been fun to sort out :?

i may be wrong, but i was under the impression the guts must be welded up / locked as there are little fly weights in there to adjust the timing acording to speed (then the vac advance fine tunes it again to adjust for load).

good choice btw to use the angle drive. i went for the hybrid suzuki / mazda turbo dizzy and have regretted it ever scince. i will be investing in the angle drive kit soon.


EDIT: just had a better look at ya pics, be careful having your top radiator hose there, it is easy to get a airlock and it puts alot of pressure on the radiator. i made some copper pipe to go around the other side of the head and it works a charm.
