A few drops of oil. You may still have a piece of felt under the rotor, if so it's purpose is to lube the advance AND the counter shaft that the rotor rotates on. The oil runs down and deposits on the C-adv mechanism and the centrifugal forces delivers it.

Use a thick oil 30~40 wt or if you find you need to remove to clean out rust use a light grease.

With the EI removal is pretty easy. Remove the cap and rotor, disconnect the harness to the EI unit and remove the 2 screws that hold the "point plate down" now the EI plate. NOW gently remove the plastic shutter by pulling up carefully so you don't break it. As you pull up the plate will come up at the same time until the photo cell can clear the shutter. The weights and springs are now exposed sot they can be serviced or removed easily still attached to the counter shaft.
Most likely all you will need to do is lube things up.

Once reinstalled the timing should still be the same as it was.
