Problem being I don't have one to compare it to. When you see a worn one is
there a grove in the cam where the follower has been traveling? Mine looked
symetrical over the entire cam.

This is, of course, the checks-and-balances step. The dewll
is what matters to the engine, the gap is what you can set and
when those two disagree <widely>, the implication is wear --
or incorrect parts.
FWIW, I bought a rebuilt distributor for my '70 B-GT and
its cam was worn more than the one I just removed! I rebuilt
my old distributor using bits from the "rebuilt" one.
