51 F3 Distributor

Can anyone tell me where I can find information or diagrams on how to rebuild my distributor for my 51 ford F3 step by step? I bought new points, rotor and so on but I want to make sure I put it back together the correct way. I haven't taken it apart yet and maybe it's easy to put the new stuff in but it's also nice to follow some kind of instructions.

Do you want to completely disassemble the distributor, or just put the new parts you listed in it?
