Mike,
Ooops! Got me! Sorry about that. I re-built it about a year ago,
and I guess the brain cells are a little foggy... Yeah, I did not
re-bush it. I thought I did, but as I look back, I find that the bushes
are no longer easily found. As I think about it, there was a "little"
slop in the shaft, and that's one of the reasons I liked the Pertronix
unit - ignition timing won't be affected by the play in the shaft.
Yes, I did DIY, so I made a little jig for the drill press to hold the
lower shaft to drill the pin out semi-accurately, and then also took the
tach drive plug out, and had to "re-stake" that upon assembly.
Thanks for helping me to remember...
Peter
