That Engine has a long rod that drives the distributor. It is Slotted at both ends and will pull out if you remove the distributor.
The distributor and the drive can get very worn and cause the timing to jump around scattering the secondary ignition. Pull the distibuter and pull the shaft out (the cavity is large but usually fills with crud so have a shop vac handy to suck the dirt out).

Clark dealers offer a Electronic Ignition dist. if you have to replace the dist as well. There are two different drive Rod lengths depending on the year of the engine.
