As mentioned, you can pull the dist with two bolts removed. this will allow you to also check the dist shaft bushing while it''s out, which is a common wear item that often affects point gap, thus spark timing, and voltage. The problem with this method is registration of the dist shaft upon install. I recommend getting a piece of paper, and make a diagram of the offset slotted drive as removed. note where the housing comes off, and where the offset ridge is when it''s removed from the engine. It must go back in the same way on the gear so that the offsets match.
If the dist won''t drop in fully, that''s an indication that the shaft is not registered properly. Once off, replace all the wear components, and check the shaft for play. If it needs a new bushing they are avail as well. You can also switch over to the Pertronix ignition plate which comes in either 12 or 6 volt models. No points. I would also replace the coil at the same time. Parts are readily avail from just 8n's at decent prices(no affiliation).'

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
