Eric,
If the dizzy in the A is a 25D, then the operation is very simple.
Remove distributor from car (this makes all the rest EASY!)
Look at the dist. from the top. opposite the vacuum chamber is the
vernier adjustment wheel. It is retained from being screwed all the way
off by a small circlip on the end of the shaft. Pry off the clip and
unscrew the wheel completely. Watch for a small C shaped spring steel
piece that rubs the wheel knurls. It sometimes will fall out.
Unhook the V/Advance operating rod (looks like a tightly wound spring )
from the point plate. Pull the V/A unit out.
Installation is the reverse of disassembly (to coin a phrase)
Hope this helps
