The easiest solution for a worn distributor shaft is to install a
Pertronix (magnetic sensor) or Crane (optical sensor) electronic
ignition system. These are not affected by a bit of shaft wobble as are
points. If you are concerned about the mechanical advance, take in into
a performance shop for testing.
And, you will never need to adjust points again!
