HH56,

I have lubricated all of the points mentioned recently and the advance system seems to be working as it should.

Owen,

Upon further inspection the shavings seem to be from the contacts inside the distributor cap. Looks like the rotor has been making contact with them. The end of the rotor is worn too.

There is no side to side play in the shaft/bushing. It does kind of seem like the rotor doesn't fit very snugly onto the shaft. Is it supposed to sort of "snap" or "click" onto the shaft? Mine just seems to lightly sit onto the shaft. It is very easy to remove the rotor. I could almost see it being able to move around on there but I'm not really sure.
