If you are fitting it whilst the dizzy is in the car, then will be lined up already, so long as dizzy not turned, just leaves the gap to be set to 0.2mm - 0.3mm, make sure the phase sensor is sitting exactly parralell to the lobe on the dizzy shaft as some are it seems distorted slightly and need a GENTLE bend on the plate of sensor, as mine did but was new.
Once gapped job done.
If it is a new one it will be one RED wire one BLUE wire on the small leads from it to clip to inside of the terminal that goes through dizzy body, the red lead goes to the nearest terminal in the block, to the phase sensor.

nice one cheers,fitted it today,it improved the misfiring under boost but didnt cure it,so i gapped the agpr12pp's down to .8mm,and cleaned the tdc sensor,now it pulls clean in every gear,and idles smoothly aswell instead of hunting up and down,happy out,for however long it lasts! :banana:

If you have not got one yet a group a or similar high powered coil will help big time.
