Hi Folks,
        I am having some weird ignition problems.  The car idles lousy, 
but runs good at speed.
        My distributor shaft is a bit wobbly.  Havn't got a dial indicator, 
but would guess there's at least .030" diametral movement.  I set the 
point gap to .020", and the dwell measures 10 degrees!  The whole 
distributor body rocks a little, too.  (This was a "rebuilt" unit three 
years ago).
        What is the tolerance on the shaft movement?  Zero?  I have not 
found a number in the manuals.
                Thanks A Lot,
        
 
Regards,
        Rick Barnard
