Joe,
One other thing to check on the cam would be to loosen the front
retaining plate & see if it spins freely. Sometimes things don't go back
together exactly the same ( new camshaft ) & mildly resurfacing the
retaining plate down with fine emery on a flat surface ( glass ) will
solve the problem. If the cam bearings were press fit it would have
taken a pretty good shot to shift them. When installed they are a mild
interference fit but not that easily moved.
As Dick described the distributor is shimmed with paper gaskets.
