    You really can't just swap it out, unless you find a diphragm from the same type of distributor... there is a clip I believe that secures the arm thingy to the distributor, I tried swaping diaphragms from the other 2 types and they didn't work, bolt holes and the way the arm hooks up inside is different.

    most diaphragms use two bolts though and usualy can get by with only one there.

    To get to the internal mounting, you need to remove the cap, rotor, and the plastic piece that covers the internals. You should then see a plate to which the advance arm hooks up. If I am not mistaken, it is just a single E-clip that needs to be removed.

    yeah, i was hoping i didnt have to disassemble the distributor to do it, but oh well... mine only had one plastic clip in it, and its brocken so i guess ill check which one i have and find a matching distributor at the j/y. thanks guys.
