Mark the old dizzy and head and try to get the new one as close to the old unit. It's just the 2 10mm bolts into the head you need to remove, and the dizzy cap and hall sender plug.

 

Refit (the key for the rotor arm only fits one way into the end of the cam.

 

you may find that marking the crank pulley and tdc mark on the plastic cover with tippex helps a great deal when you're trying to line them up with the timing light. set the beast to 6 degrees btdc, and enjoy.
