Glen,
I don't know if there is a measurement of what is acceptable. Probably
none is acceptable. Set the cam lobe to just touching the closed points,
wiggle, do the points now open? I suspect that would be too much. Does the
timing wander when watched with a light? Is the screw under the rotor tight?
What is the part number on the dizzy?
