Can e-mail them and I don't know. I didn't see a TFI on the side. Is that another part to buy. Real easy to go from stock to stock one. Unplug one connection. Put engine at tdc. Take cap off. Notice where #1 plug wire is. Remove the bolt on the hold down strap. Pull out. Notice shaft will turn during removal. When reinstall. Push in making sure #1 is same as removed and it is all the way down to make sure oil shaft is engage. Reverse procedure on rest. Start engine and make sure have oil pressure. If not shut off. And remove and check oil drive shaft in center of distributor. If all is ok. Set timing 10degrees BTDC with shunt out.

yep, the procedure is that simple. Just dont force it. One thing MG Man forgot was make sure #1 cyl is at TDC of its compression stroke. If you dont, you'll be 180 deg off and in for some interesting times
Side note, I just installed a "motorcraft" dizzy in my XR4Ti and a word of warning...the casting was never cleaned up by machining and will require taking off about 2-3 thou around the oring. Otherwise it wont fit.
you may want to consider remote mounting your TFI module using a modified heat sink from a windstar and a few lengths of heavy-gauge wire
just need a compression tester (not too expensive)
and a person to bump the throttle
pull your fuel pump relay, yank the #1 spark plug and install the compression tester
blip the ignition till you get a reading on the compression tester
turn the engine by hand using a big breaker bar and a socket and turn it till the timing mark on the pulley is at the TDC mark on the timing scale then follow the procedure set forth by Maurice up there and you're good to go
ok but what is a TDC and i still dont know if that distributor fits?
TDC is top dead center. IE the #1 piston is at the very top of its stroke
dunno if that dizzy will fit. I would call em up and ask about applications of the product
it looks like it will fit, but it looks like it uses a completely different ingition system. There is no place to mount the TFI and it doesnt look like that wire harness is big enough to fit on a TFI for a remote mount setup. I would definitely call em
and let me also say HOLY S)(*&(^*(% that is a )_(*)%&^$^$& expensive distributor ....for 400+ bucks it better do my laundry and a few other tings as well
