i have a 66 olds with a 425. i replaced my ignition points,cap and rotor and vac advance. the car never seemed to stay in time. im trying to set my dwell and my reading will jump from 29.5 to 32. this isnt normal is it? my meter is a snap on and its high end and in good shape so i dont think its my meter. if its a worn shaft. could the shaft be replaced without buying a whole new distributor? i need some advice...and yes i know i should get an electronic ignition. but now ive spent money on my old system so id like to use it. do they sell distributor rebuild kits? should i just get another distributor all together? help
