First off, welcome to the fold. Lucas dizzy's mean frustrationor at least
have been for me. I gave up after almost 30 years of Lucas frustration and
swapped in the Mallory dizzys.

The new dizzy comes with some instructions. In short, you figure out how
you want the thing oriented, you slide the drive dog on and makr the
location. Then you have to set the end-float to some number then you drill
and install the dog and pin - then you're done.

It's a 20 minute job for a competent machinist.
