Good catch on the dizzy being 180 out. Had that in an '82 spider years ago...car was running fine but on a long trip started to run a bit rough. I got to my destination and the next day, while merging with freeway traffic, the car simply died. I towed the car to a local garage and much fussing, the mechanic finally realized that the dizzy was installed incorrectly.
The telltail sign was a smalll oil leak from the dizzy shaft. I'd bet my last $ the car had been delivered from the factory this way as it only had about 25K miles at the time.
