Chuck:

Any pointers on disassembly? I've not got that part in the manuals I have and don't want to end up with a non-driveable car on short notice!

I assume (probably foolishly) that there is a roll pin in the gear on the bottom I need to drive out to take the distributor apart. I know the advance weights aren't working right and need to fix it -- 15 mpg is killing me driving to work and back (the higher milage cars are all sick at the moment).
