If it stays at infinity, then the points are "stuck" open. This is 
the more common failure mode, usually caused by dirt between the 
points which keeps them from contacting one another.

There are a number of things which can go wrong in the dist. I 
rebuild these quite often and charge $55 + parts to do this. Usually 
the only parts needed are a new vacuum advance can, or nothing. The 
price includes return shipping. If you have trouble here you might 
want to consider this.
