In addition to what Jarl wrote, worn bushings could contribute to the
problem. Some oil will collect in the bottom of the distributor over time,
as it can't get out, eventually it can cause problems. Drill a small hole
in the bottom of the distributor, under the advance plate, and the oil can
escape and dribble out.
