    very easy...Disconnect your battery , should be 2 10mm on the top post...then un plug the dizzy 2 connects they have a push type connector....take your cap off which is 2 screws phillip head or 8mm nut either or is fine...once you do that take your cap a lay it out of the way no need to disconect your wires leave them on...once you done that take a 12mm wrench an take out the 3 bolts holding it on...when you do that twist the dizzy an pull it out an take a ragg an lay it under the hole to catch the oil that comes out want be much but enough to make a mess...once the dizzy is out if your not installing a new rotor button then you need to take the old one off its a phillp head but be careful an not to strip it out, I use a impact screw driver that takes them out easy, if you dont have one make sure to use the right size screw driver an be firm by pressing it hard an turning..once you dont that it goes back on the same way an only one way...DonE? Ok install the dizzy only will go in one way once its on flush with the head line the hole for the bolts to the center part of the dizzy ear tabs , now install your 12mm bolts tighten then down but dont over tighten them, reverse the rest an your done...now need to use a timing light unless you just want too...Hook up the timing light to the battery red positiver black negative..an the timing cord clip it on the number one spark plug wire which is the 1st near the timing cover ...crank it up allow it to warm complete to normal with everything off no a/c radio etc..let it idle point the timing light to the crank from the oil power steering pump side on the crank you will see a red mark look on the timing cover there is a V groove line the red mark in the V groove an you can read the timing light from there... Hope this helped
