ill try and explain the installation as best i can remember...

undo the two screws that hold down the cap and pull the cap off. the ignition module is at the back of the distributor and there are two wires going to it i believe (might be one). unscrew the ignition module and replace it with the new one (be sure to apply the grease that comes with the new one). reinstall everything else. its really not that hard except it takes some small hands which i dont have but luckily my dad does.
