I might have a drawing of the tis disc if you want ?, all lined up but dead easy to do, mark on dizzy body top(scribed line) should fall in centre imaginary line of the dizzy arm pointer.

As tab says - but sometimes the dissy twists if you have removed it so you have take account of this by twisting it before popping it back in - easy enough.

Does it matter where the dizzy actually is?
ie; the outside of the dizzy where the plug is
Or as long as the centre line of the rotor arms lines up with the scribed line it's ok?

It can be a bit tight on the leads if it twists around too much - not much space down there.

Doesn't matter where the dizzy body is in relation to the engine so long as the end result is obtained, ie if it's easier say to rotate 1/4 turn that's ok and will cause no issues so long as the rotor arm/phase signal is in line with the body, just take out turb slightly as said take account of how much it turns as it goes back in then get it where you want it to end.

Didn't realize you had a problem mate? Is it dead then... fuel or spark issue? Crank sensor is often the culprit you see.
