how hard was it to install and adjust this kit if an non-mechanic was trying to install it?

Kit itself is pretty straight forward. Main thing was making sure distributor was properly marked to the rotor before removal.....upon reinstallation, I just lined up my mark to the rotor and after doing it a couple times I got it back in properly lined up. It fired right up and after that its just a matter of tweakin it to its best point. If you have never pulled a distributor before, ya might want some advice........good luck!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't agree more that it is "The best 40 bucks I've spent on my Vette yet... ".
