31 Standard 8 Distributor

Howdy Folks - I"m getting ready to start a 31 Standard 8 for the first time in 30 years, and I'd like to pull the distributor out to do a single points conversion. I wanted to find out if there is any special guidance before doing so. I've got cylinder 1 at TDC, and I've got the rotor pointed to the number 1 plug wire. To remove, do I just need to remove/loosen the distributor clamp? Also, I notice the rotor sits on the shaft and is noticeably loose. This perplexes me, as it seems the rotor would jump all over the place during operation. Should it be like that, or should it be on there tight? Anyone know if Northeast made two different size rotors and I happen to have the larger size? I don't know the model number of the distributor as the tag was replaced. Lastly what is the large chrome adjustment knob do - is that for micro timing adjustments?
