Only thing I can think of like a knob on dist is the grease cup--supposed to fill with grease and give a bit of a turn every so often to lube the shaft.. Not sure what you mean by popping the dist unless referring to modern with an adjustment on the side. If that's the case, then yes removing the cap and doing it the old fashioned way is the option..setting the point gap to .020 should get you in the ballpark for spec'd 35 degrees--although a new set of points might need a smidge different to allow for wear. Manual says to set new points to 3 degrees less than spec.
