I have an 81 air cooled vanagon (non Californian).
The vacuum advance works fine.  The problem is that I
am not getting any centrifugal advance.  I verified
this by shinning the timing light with the vacuum line
to the distributor removed.  When I rev the engine,
the timing mark does not advacne.  In fact it changes
from about 8 to 7 on my scaled.

I imagine the weights are froze.  My Bentlies does not
cover the dis-assembly of the non Californian
distributor.  Does any one have a procedure, or
experience in taking the distributor apart?

Thanks,

Tony
