The dizzy does have a VACUUM advance/retard which is the little diaphragm, but it's mainly mechanical inside, as the dizzy spins faster bob weights expand outwards and in so doing turn a plate on which the pick up sits in relation to the shaft turning, make sure this is free.
The vac capsule only pulls extra advance under cruising conditions where vacuum is high enough to operate this bit.
