The CPS is easy. Here's how I do it broken down into tiny steps:
Remove cap so rotor is visible.
Line up circle indicator with notch on the other end.
(I don't do this, but you might as well) Use a magic marker to place a mark on the rotor and on the CPS/Dizzy housing so you can relocate/verify 0? easily if you need to.
Now, insert the shaft in the hole...
Giggle like a girl. (optional)
Before seating the CPS/Dizzy, rotate the whole assembly so the CPS/Dizzy retainer bolt's hole is in the CENTER of the eccentric opening.
Now, as long as the rotor is still at 0?, insert!

NOTE: Due to the cam and rotor's helical gears the rotor will rotate a little bit as it turns. If it doesn't line up very close to 0? when inserted try backing it out and rotating the rotor just a hair clockwise or counterclockwise to correct for the rotation. Mine's not dead on, but it's only off by 1/16" or so... With the dizzy lined up to the center of the eccentric bolt hole my timing is pretty much at 0?. You don't have to do it this way, but it makes things easier sometimes and you can then confidently mark the CPS/Dizzy housing to reflect where 10? is.
bolts moved smoothly all the way. used the goooooooooy stuff they gave me. did it in 3 passes also to make sure everything was tight.
