Tune up question
I am not a mechanic and I have a question. I need to install new points, condenser and rotor in my 62 m37 B1. I have all the military manuals. They all say to remove the distributor to install these items. My question is it necessary to remove the distributor and can the points etc. be installed with out removal.
Thanks

You can replace the points with the distributor still in the vehicle.
but I think it is easier to do it on your work bench or tailgate if that is the case.. and get the point gap close to being right. I'm no expert ether, and yet It is my understanding that having the points set accurately is important to ignition timing, life span of the contact points, and overall effectiveness of the ignition system. Pulling the distributor is not too hard, and if you have the manuals as well as a timing light you are all set when it comes to putting the distributor back in the engine.
