You have to move the drive gear.
Remove the dizzy, note where the rotor is pointing.
Remove the dizzy clamp (2 bolts)
Under the clamp is a collar, there is a bolt on one side of the collar,
remove that bolt, the collar should twist out with a slight tug.
I have had them where I needed to pry them out with levers but it comes out.
Look in the hole, you will see the dizzy drive, note where the slot is
pointing.
Using a long 5/16 fine thread bolt, screw it into the center of the
drive gear, twist and pull out at the same time and the gear comes out.
It's a bit tricky as it is disengaging from the came gear.
Move it back a bit and twist and push it back in. It needs NO FORCE, it
will drop right in and engage the cam gear. NO BFH on this job ;)
Note the new position of the slots on the drive gear, sometimes it goes
back in the same teeth as it rotates down and in.
If it moved back a tad, put it all back together and set the timing.
