The can is bad if you suck on it but it won't hold vacuum. If it holds vacuum 
but doesn't move the points plate, then the points plate grease needs to be 
cleaned out and replaced.

You won't notice any change in performance if you fix this. It will just give a 
bit better gas mileage on the highway. It's worth doing.

I have replacement 73 cans, I think, and I can also rebuild the dist if it needs 
it.
