Decided to freshen up the distributor of the newly acquired 235. After looking at the points I noticed that one of the springs was not attached and the points wire was barely hanging on. Simple fix, right? I thought after loosening the nut on the post that there would be a gap to put everything in but I can’t make a gap. Tried *gently* tapping on the post but nothing. Didn’t try harder because I didn’t want to damage anything. Suggestions?

Thanks
