Some play is ok, though I can't tell you just how much. Mine is a
little worn and has the Pertronix ignition. It works just fine. I do
not think, however, that an EI will fix a owrn distributor problem. If
the shaft is worn, it will still affect the rotor/timing setup.
Fortunately, distributors are still available (I think), if you want to
buy from VB, or you can simply get it rebushed at a local shop.
