is there any videos or step by step photos for replacing distributor, shouldn't be a difficult job but definitely time consuming job and I just want to make sure on the right track.

Search "Opti Spark replacement". Tons and tons of info on here. Time consuming, but not a very technically hard job.

the only non standard tool I would make sure I had was a single edge razor blade mounted on the end of a handle. It is a lot easier to get off the old gasket with that.
