I have no idea about the answer to how much. I'm a technician, as such I do best with questions such as: how does it work. I'm not so good on : how does it come apart. I'm much better on what do we test next, and why.

Your car doesn't start because it doesn't have the right combination or spark fuel and compression. It could have been spark and I would have had you test there first, CAN you test? You surely have a fuel problem now if you took the fuel distributor apart. There are techniques for all of it. Where do you want to start.
