This evil thing was seized up when I pulled it out, I just found out that the damn thing was filled with so much crap that it was stuck. I bathed it for a week in WD-40 and it seemed to come loose very easily.

other than that I stripped it down to bare metal and repainted it black, you can sorta see the metal showing through the paint but I like that I think it looks cooler.

I've also resurfaced the shaft and polished the aluminum vacuum advance, so many brass parts to be careful with on this car @.=.@;;
