[Roadsters] EI Dizzy install

[Stan Chernoff]

You can't depend on the timing being correct when you install the new 
distributor.  If you didn't receive the hold down plate with the 
pointer it will need to be transferred.  Since there are two 
adjustments associated with the pointer hold down plate it is 
necessary to set the timing.  If the EI was set up correctly it 
should not be necessary to reset the intermediate gear that runs on 
the cam.  The supplier should be able to guide you on the setup.
