If that is a "Load-O-Matic Distributor it's not worth wasting 1 minute of your time on, just do yourself a favor and upgrade right away. Not one of Fords better ideas and they only used them for two years. I swapped to Sniper EFI and mine ran flawlessly after. If by some chance you pull the timing cover swap out the timing chain to an early chain and gears. I'm pretty sure in 78 they had the timing chain that retarded the cam timing for Smog.. Good luck on your project.
