I wound up pulling apart the fuel distributor on the '79 242 I posted
about earlier with the no start condition. I know you're not supposed to
open them but upon disassembly my suspicion was confirmed that I had
nothing to lose. Inside I found quite a pile of rusty sediment and other
various crud, though no real damage and it cleaned up fine without too
much effort.

Now the question is do I attempt to reassemble it and put it back on the
car or should I just grab another one from the wrecker? Has anyone
successfully put one of these back together or is it like a hard drive
in a computer and just so ridiculously precise that I have no hope?

Try to reasemble it and test drive the engine. The hard thing is to get them not to leak fuel after deasemble. Its a big chance that the one you buy from a wrecked car is in same condition as yours old one when the car have been standing for a while.

Jim...
I've done it before and what do you have to lose? Put it back together
and see what happens, OK? It really doesn't take too long to reassemble
the unit if you have kept everything in order. If it doesn't work, then
I'd get a rebuilt unit because if you get a used component, you just
might have the same problem with all of the sediment and buildup.

You must have misread the manual.

Facts are facts.

"Your handle says it all."

What, "zencraps?"

It's about casino play.

C'mon, "Administrator" (a douche bag name if ever there was one), you
screwed the pooch big time on this one; just admit your error and move
on.
