The dizzy ( I guess you mean distributor?) should only fit on one way onto the end of the camshaft. The two ends on the dist gear should fit into the slots of the cam. These slots are offset, not right in the center. Timing is set to 9 deg BTDC at 750 RPM in N if manual of D if automatic. The timing connector must be disconnected first. Make sure firing order is correct and all wiring is plugged in on dist.
