Not hard at all. Just 3 bolts and 2 or 1 plug.(s)

Are you sure your not getting oil in the distributor.
The o-ring could be failing to keep a seal.

Make sure all the connections to the ignitor are nice and tight.

Just my .02 cents before you go ahead and replace the distributor.

Make sure you get a timing light on it also. Follow your directions to properly set base ignition timing. Other than that, make sure you pay attention when swapping over wires, 1-3-4-2 from the bottom left when looking at the distributor cap. And make sure you line up the key correctly also, It will only slide into the cam properly one way.

plug n play but you might want to check timing after you install new one.
