On my 73 2.0 I have been having issues with dwell fluctuations.i can pull up on shaft that rotor sits on and it moves up and down at least a 1/4 to 1/2 inch.im assuming this is not right and is leading to fluctuations with hard starting .im constantly having to reset pts with dwell meter.
So what can I do ,I have 34 dual carbs and if I replace distributor what do I get.? |

Sounds like there's too much vertical play in the distributor shaft. Remove the distributor and inspect. If the cam lobe is okay, add'l thrust washers can be installed to decrease the slop. Otherwise, shop for a replacement in good condition. They should be plentiful, yes?
