Why are Hellion and Electric Eye listed separately? It should really be one entry, The Hellion / Electric Eye.

That depends on how strict one wants to follow the Screaming for Vengeance albums. They are two different titles and two different entries on the album releases. The titles are listed under each other. Check out the results of some searching that I did:
The CD and LP releases have separate tracks with their own numbers,
but also separate numbers on the back cover on e.g. re-releases of the LP, such as this picture disc:
As opposed to what happened on Sin After Sin (two titles next to each other, separated by a slash):
Defenders of the Faith is also connected to Heavy Duty, but they are still two different titles and entries (tracks). Same goes for Battle Hymn and One Shot at Glory.
I understand an urge to change it because Electric Eye certainly becomes less interesting (or could feel incomplete) without its intro, but this is how Priest released it.
On compilations, there's variation:
Check e.g. the separation on the excellent compilation Metalworks '73-'93
and The Essential Judas Priest:
Here are the exceptions:
Metalogy, but here we have live versions:
And here we see (as far as I'm aware the only time in the complete catalogue) that the studio songs are one and the same entry:
The 2002 reissue of The Best of Judas Priest: Living After Midnight:
The original 1997 issue had a different tracklist and separated The Hellion from Electric Eye:
Another weird exception for the live versions: On Priest... Live! the Hellion is not mentioned!
I have a question:
-If there ever was one- Does anyone have the original Electric Eye single on vinyl? @bearfan or @Cornfed Hick perhaps?
Or a picture of it? Perhaps it was released without The Hellion, and if not then I am still curious to see how the printing on the vinyl and on the covers looks like.
I did find a 1983 released promo (live versions), see link:

A1 and A2 listed as separate tracks, but run as one band and are listed with a combined running time of 4:17

Fever has become a top 10 song for me. Perhaps even top 5, not sure. I find it an incredibly good track. It starts with these eery, (literally) moving clean guitars, and every part afterwards is phenomenal as well. Love the atmosphere, especially when these calm guitars return.
Screaming for Vengeance may have the best produced guitar sound from the entire catalogue and this song is a prime example to dig it.

Ladies and gents, the rare Foro misspelling.
Eerie = creepy
Eyrie = eagle nest
Erie = one of the Great Lakes
Zizzeroni = not a thing
On topic: I will fight anyone who votes against Devil's Child.
Slept in and missed another round.

Alright, if you're going to continue listing The Hellion as a separate song - which makes no sense, it clearly is written as an intro for Electric Eye - then I'll vote against it.
Currently finding it difficult to vote for anything from Screaming for Vengeance.

I find it less difficult to choose because I've listened intensely to Priest as of late. From this remaining SFV-bunch I'd like the last two to go through.

SfV is the only Priest album I listen to on a regular basis. Yay for the love for Hellion, RTC.
