Do I have to have the distributor in a vice to test the bushing? I tried to move the point cam side-to-side while it was on the engine and couldn't feel any movement. I was thinking of just replacing the entire distributor since I really don't have the tools to do the things you describe in the article.
I know the Packard training document I have says to remove the distributor to replace the points but I've never done that and never remember anybody ever doing that back in the day. Is it hard to pull the distributor out? Do I just remove the wire to the coil and the bolt that I loosen when I set the timing? Or is there more to it?
