Attempted to get the engine running today and I noticed the distributor wobbles as the engine cranks over. I had a spare dizzy so I swapped it in and the same wobble occurs. I am getting spark though.... I'm almost afraid to know - What's up?

Hello, returning member. I had A 76 914about 7 years ago. absolutely loved it. I recently purchased a 73 Teener.(17-Oct-21) This new car has the same issue. it starts up easily and sounds strong. However I noticed that the distributer has a deffinet wobble when running. I read the other posts, and will check it out. I assume the car needs a new distributer. I hope thats all it is. Not something wrong with the block. I already have a pretty long grocery list of items that need attention. Thankful this site is available to assist with everything 914 related! Thanks to all. Also considering converting to electronic ignition.
