[Fot] distributors (2nd part)

[Dick Stockton]

Marcel,

The cam is likely flexing causing the erratic timing at higher rpms. The
gear is in an unsupported section where a bearing should be and the cams
flex and break at this location. Cutting down the base circle for more lobe
lift makes it worst.
