Turn the engine to 0* (leading timing mark), align the tally marks at the bottom of the dizzy and drop it in.

Yelp thats it, but not the roll pins , the actual dimple like shown in th picture...

To remove , take out the 10mm nut or bolt depending on model... And gently pull up, to install, hold the rotor button as steady as possible and push inside the front covers opening, it will move but take not how much it moves and counter it as best as possible. Then take a timing gun, and set the timing correctly...
