I knew this couldn't be as bad as some said.
Having just gone through this procedure some things I might add...
You will need to reset the timing once you get the new distributor installed. If you are happy with your current timing you should mark it on the pulley prior to making any changes. Be ready with your timing light when you first start it.
It looks like you have a '74 so this may not apply. A few of us have noticed that our (early engine?) distributor is 180-degrees "off" (i.e. #1 cylinder wire is on the opposite side of the distributor cap from what is typical and documented). As recommended, I marked everything as I took it apart and was careful to line things up when I put it back together.
