Just watched a friend replace mine, so I cannot tell you from experience. Though, here is a site that does a great job explaining it all with great graphics.

Open the Distributor Cap, and you will see the points, leave the Wires in the Cap when you take it off- A small set screw holds them in place, you will also see a small capacitor ,replace that too- then you must set the gap- on the points- according to Specs- if no Specs, use a dime- been a long time, but those are the basics. Should replace the Distributor cap as well, and the Rotor.

You can buy electronic points that fit inside your distributor cap and is very easy to install to take the place of your points... They run about 90.00 bucks and can be found at any good on-line parts store like summit or jegs..
