Nope, not at all. Put it in, hook up the wires and that's it. Time it and and you're all set. No dwell to mess with. You can set the cap 180°s from how it's normally installed. Just make sure you put the plug wires where they're supposed to be. The numbers on the cap will not match the plugs. Get #1 piston to TDC. Just start with #1 wire and go around from there. It's not as hard as it sounds.)

You will need to put a jumper between 2 wires at the ignition switch so you have 12 volts all ther time to the distributer. Off hand I can't remember which ones they are. I think they are Ing 1 and Ign 2, but Old Goat 67 knows for sure. He's the one that got me thru the setup.

I can try and get a photo of mine posted for you tomorrow.
