Well, the original 73 dizzy only had vacuum retard anyway, so no big deal if
it doesn't move all the way.

My suggestion is to leave enough wire inside the dizzy so the wire can flex,
instead of pushing through the opening.  That will still add some resistance
to point plate movement, but it shouldn't be enough to notice (as it's
already pretty stiff).

Of course, that also means that eventually the wires will break from
flexing.  The factory point wire was a special very flexible type of wire
designed for this sort of service, but the Crane wires do not appear to be.
Hopefully, "eventually" will be long enough down the road that it won't
matter.
