A shot from above of the horn and coil. The coil is attached to a thin plate with another plate that wraps around; the other plate is held to the body with a pair of bolts, which come away fairly easily. The cable on the top and the wire (behind the thicker top-end cable) both attach to the distributor.
Cable to distributor removed. Many of these cables took a bit of wrestling to get the rubber to release its grip.
The distributor cap and visible internals are far too clean and new looking to be original. I imagine my cousin replaced this whole unit some years ago.
Now that all the cables are free from the distributor cap, they are easily popped off the spark plugs - and the tube holding the cables is mounted with a pair of bolts, easily removed.
The wire from the ignition coil is the red one. Don't clip the red wire! This one detaches easily as well, and the ignition coil is free.
The horn was a fun one to remove - now that the ignition coil is out, I can get a socket wrench on that nut. Getting a crescent around the bolt head was trickier - I never could quite fit it in fully, but I managed to get enough purchase to hold it steady.
