As creeture3 its not a hard job just take your time. Haven't read all the posts, but is this a 6 cylinder engine and you changed the dizzy out from under the inlet manifold? I had a bung hall sensor which took out the whole module about 6 months ago. Watched a mobile mechanic get the top off the dizzy and learnt a good range of new bad-words in the process. Seemed like a horrible job to me unless you could take the whole inlet manifold off to actually get to the dizzy properly. (Same goes for replacing spark plug leads - that distributor is in a stupid place) I have heaps of respect for you if you managed to do it on the side of the road by yourself.
