Instructions are on the web page as well.
That's the same dizzy I put in my stock '72 350. I bought it several years ago for about $75, but it came with a full set of the 90*, 8.8mm spiral bound Accel wires. Bought the crimper too. Custom fit the length to your appclication (plug end came finished, just cut to length at distributor end).

But I only recently installed it. I probably have less than a 1,000 miles on it, but no problems whatsoever.

The biggest difference I noticed was idle smoothness. The points/distributor I was replaced was probably fried/sloppy. Now, the timing is much more stable, and my hood is not bouncing/oil-canning at idle. Seems to fire up a bit quicker as well.

Time will tell on the durability, but so far, all good.
