read the manual very carefully a few times before hand, it is very easy to set the timing 180 degrees out, and it wont start at all if you do that. if you follow the haynes manual shud be ok, but you have to do exactly what is says.

Just pull the old one out (after undoing the two holding screws) and replace with the new one. If it ends up 180 degrees out - just rearrange the plug leads to suit - no problem. To check - note carefully where the rotor arm is sitting before you remove the old dizzy - and then see where it sits with the new one. If it's in the same place then all is well - if it's 180 degrees round - swap the leads.
