Mitch,

On all of my Lucas distributors, there is a screw threaded into the main
distributor shaft (under the rotor - sometimes there's a felt pad over it)
that holds the upper shaft onto the main distributor shaft.  You have to
remve the felt pad and unscrew the screw before the parts will come apart.
Sounds like you are missing the screw and all that holding it on is the
advance springs and gravity.
