You didn't bother to give any symptoms or details so my recommendation is to replace the distributor. They had very little trouble with the pickup assembly, but they did have a lot of trouble with worn bushings. They cause the shaft to wobble leading to erratic timing, surging, sputtering, and stalling. This was a very common problem.
