So as I was stripping the top of the engine down to clean things up the distributor had to come out. I set the engine to top dead center and then carefully pulled the distributor out. The elements were not kind to this part during its unfortunate period of outdoor storage.












Mechanical advance mechanism was stuck, and the vacuum/boost retard "box" was rusted out. I was able to free up the mechanical advance, and have a new replacement vacuum/boost retard can on the way from a fellow pelican member.
