I replaced it anyway, and I can’t seem to replicate the flooded hot start condition it had developed. I guess it must have helped.

Truck still isn’t performing quite up to its usual standards. I did check dwell (was good at 28-29) ran out of daylight before I could do any more diagnoses. It runs like it needs more timing. Maybe the dizzy slipped somehow. I’d find that weird but possible, I suppose.
If you stretch the rubber diaphragm, the pin hole may show itself.
