Hints for rebuilding a distributor
I found a 009 dissy under my house, It's missing its cap (easy) has rusty guts and feels a bit crusty, so I want to strip and rebuild it. Any tricks
or tweaks I need to know before attempting to pull it apart for a rebuild?

Here's a few
VWCOOL,
Try work the mechanical advance. If it doesn't work, pull off the rotor, out with the felt wick and spray WD40 or Penetrine and let it
soak. Give it 24 hours or so.
Mark the plates/weights/springs so it re-assembles the same.
Can't remember what the 009 advance mechanism is like, just finished a DVDA using a Vac Only for spares:duh.
000 steel wool or a fine nylon pot scourer to clean up the points cam.
After you remove the points & plate, remove the drive dog (the pin is in real tight) after marking the dog and shaft on the same side, clean up the
shaft around the pin holes. Remove it from the body and THEN you should hold the advance mechanism while using a drift down where the felt wick was to
pop the "C" clip off.
The drift will stop it going "sproing" into a dark, redback infested corner of your work area.
The Bentley book is useless, the Gregory's/SP ones have MUCH better information, including end play spec.
Fibre washers face the distributor body, then the steel shims...
