I may be an idiot, but I would have no problem attempting to service the
distrubuter.  If it is a none servicable item, you have lost nothing by
trying.  I have a similar problem with my 85 Vanagon.  I believe mine is
related to the vacuum advance capsule.  I just bought a new capsule from the
dealer.  I have removed the distrubtor and examinied it.  I do not see any
problems yet related to the overhaul of it.  I noticed last night during my
browlings that somebody is selling a kit of small parts for distrubtor
repair.  I need to go back and find them.
