MegaParts has a screw/washer kit for them. They are very simple to completely pull apart, clean, glass bead the housing and paint. I've been lucky with the few I have rebuilt, the shaft bushings were still tight and didn't need to be replaced. The oiler pulls out with a little force, so that you can clean or replace it with a new one (Crossram Connection makes them new).
thanks, thats the kind of stuff i'm looking for.
what about the vacuum advance, how do i clean that up?

Who is making the tags now. Bill Rolik out of Jersey lost all of his dies for making them. He only has select ones left
I'm pretty sure that you can buy them from Norm Brady at The Crossram Connection.

Maxwagons look better than mine do Since I don't have any other way, I lightly glass bead mine and then polish the stamped metal half of the advance with a fine wire wheel. The cast portion looks to have had some sort of plating on it. If you blast it too long, you will see the raw metal color start to show through.
I just pulled the distributor out of my Bee the other night to clean it up and "detail" it and throw some new points in.

Block off one set of points, set dwell....then switch.....so you set the dwell on each set seperately, then hopefully you end up with the correct combined dwell
