I hope you don't find any instructions! 
Seriously, the older Colt V-Spring action revolvers are best left unmolested if you need on-line instructions to molest them.
If it just needs cleaning, hose it out with Rem-Oil spray lube while working the action.
Then blow it out with compressed air.
Taking them apart is not to be taken lightly if you don't know what you are doing.
If you mess something up, it may stay messed up, as parts & skilled repair for them is getting mightly hard to find unless you send it back to Colt.

That's a Plus-2.
The old Colt action is deceptively complex and if a part is slightly out of place, it won't function or even go back together.
If you insist, ther's nothing acceptable online.
The best option is the Jerry Kuhnhausen shop manual.
This was was written as a training aid for new pistolsmiths and covers the old style Colt actions in detail:

+3....... I can reassemble a 1911 or S&W revolver from a pile-o-parts while blindfolded. Yes really, I can. An old style Colt revo scares the bejabbers out of me.

TFL'S Smithy forum has instructions describing how to disassemble them and how the older lockwork works. Do a search under "python disassembly" and you will find a decade old thread.
It's one thing to read and learn and quite another to disassemble one. Leave it alone lest you incur hundreds of dollars in repair costs.

Thanks for the replies all. I'm pretty good with mechanical objects. Fixed helicopters for Uncle Sam.
I'll keep digging and make sure I don't get in over my head. It looks like the Agent I have on layaway has some minor pitting on the trigger and hammer. I'll know more when I have it in hand. I despise corrosion, and it never stops unless treated.
