    Upload a photo of the Box, Parts you have and the instructions. I got the Ignitor 2 and Flamethrower 2 which is a Hall Effect setup and I had my Fitter and Turner mate turn the shaft down for me, some people use a grinder, could use a a file and a drill press if you where careful enough.

    Also you don't have to take the Dissy out of the car, you can pull it apart while in the bay and still mounted but you have to be aware of which way the rotor button was facing.

    To disassemble the Dissy you take off the dissy cap leaving leads on it and cable tie out of the way, then mark which direction the rotor button is pointing on the housing of the dissy, remove rotor button and dust cap, you will see the points and condenser that sits on the side of the dissy, remove all the screws to pull out points and condenser (all screws except 2 that hold down the breaker plate) for the Lobe Sensing type, for the Hall Effect type you need to remove the dissy shaft, to remove the shaft you need to take out the extra two screws holding down the breaker plate and remove the circlip on the vacuum advance (be careful it doesn't go missing), remove the vacuum advance and the screw that's down the centre of the dissy shaft, lift out the breaker plate and you will see the two springs with the govenor weights on them, the shaft just slots in on two little studs and should slide out, take out the shaft machine it down and replace in opposite order repacking with high temp grease, on the position the points used to sit roughly you will put the ignitor and on the shaft you will put the magnet ring on first with the hexagonal internal diameter facing up, then the white spacing ring on top, should all just sit below the top of the rotor button.

    Hope this helps
