I tried moving the weights with a screwdriver and could not get them to move. They turn with the shaft of the distributor fine. I found a clip on youtube showing a more modern distributor and the guy was able to move the weights easily. Maybe mine are froze up from lack of maintenance? That would help explain the lack of power I felt when I drove it, although it did not seem to run bad. Not my no start problem, but something to address while the distributor is out.

I checked the shaft and there is no wobble so the bearings must be good.
