The problem is in the software.  It computes advance as a 16 bit value,
and then it tosses the upper eight bits when it goes to convert from an
angle to a time interval.

Someone ought to look at the differences between real GM DIS and dizzy
applications.  A good choice might be to compare software between the
1227748 and 1228321 ECMs.  The former is DIS, the latter is dizzy I
think.  These ECMs have the same hardware except for the limp home
calibration.  They also use (small) 27128 EPROMs - so the programs can't
be too complex.
