It's easy once you get the hang of it.

Pop the rotor off.
Take two opposing screwdrivers and pry the 8-star reluctor off.

Take the two screws out and pull the vacuum advance canister off. It's has a arm with a nub that fits in a hole but it's easy to get out.

Pull the felt "wick" out of the top of the shaft (if it's still in there). pull the little wire clip off and pull the upside down "T" piece off. This will get full exposure the the weights and springs. Clean the weights and grease them with white lithium grease.
Intall Mr. Gasket part # 925-B (lightweight springs) on the weights and reverse the process.

You can just replace the springs without going through all of this but I like to make sure everything is clean and functioning properly!

* Make sure you know where the small pin is before you remove the reluctor and replace it accordingly.

*Add a drop of oil to the felt wick in the top of the distriubutor.

*The springs are available at Autozone or O'Reilly's





Thanks!






I just did this to our old dodge.It helped wake the old girl up a bit. It's very simple and the above write up is right on the money. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the small clip under the felt pad.If you can find a book called "Old Reliable" by Don Dulmage ( a Canadian as well ) it has a chapter that that shows step by step how to do this ( and also how to weld up the centrifugal advance slot ) . Good luck, Dave.

You can get Dons book from his website below.He's a great guy and very knowledgable about these old mopars and will answer any questions you have.
