318 Timing Question:

We're hearing a strange metalic clicking/whiring sound that appears to be coming from the distributor when you lean down and put an ear close. The noise comes and goes and is more noticable once the engine has run for a few minutes. I believe I may replace the entire distributor. I haven't done this before but figure it's worth a shot and certainly couldn't hurt since the current one looks as if it's the very worn out original. I did replace the cap, rotor, coil and wires already. The coil and wires are Accel parts.
