Is this normal?

Thanks for info,,as per your pic with the lables, how do you tell the difference between the primary and the secondary? Is just by the springs?I completely understand what you mean,but I have never touched this dizzy before and what if the person before me did it backwards. I also did purchased a fbo plate with the springs,so can I use them.I am just looking to cruise and with occasional throttle stomps, and car shows.
