a little oil can help

I have a '76 and the distr centr weights used to hang. There is a little metal cover on the body portion of the distributor below the advance plate. Pop the cover off and you can oil the Centrifugal advance weight pivot points. You can also put a dab of grease on the ball clip assy that hold the advance plate. Lastly, some oil on the felt pad in the hollow distr shaft (under the rotor) helps. My distributor is not new, but a little attention to these points (i.e. oil) can make a major difference.
Good luck
