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?

EXACTLY where do you see it wobbling? How much? Has it always been this way or you don't know... Clayton |

That doesn't seem possible to me...? It's pretty noticeable.... Very "egg"-like wobble. The cap is clipped on tight. Doubled checked the dizzy hold down nut was tight too. Engine is new to me so I don't know.... |
