Thanks Frank. It seems to fit a little too perfect for someone to just find a random cardboard tube, and slide it on the input shaft. I put it back on

I might wait to see what Dave's findings are first with his aluminum drive; also thinking about calling Tom at Antique Auto Parts Cellar and ask him about tolerances since he apparently makes a brass replacement housing with the drive.
I can only hope that I am on the right track... either way, this is definitely a learning experience

Dave:
I have a question regarding your replicated distributor drive housing. Can you tell me, or do you remember, how much play (if any) there was with the drive gear? Is it in the housing fairly flush and no "back and forth" play?
The reason I'm asking is that my timing keeps jumping and I believe my problem lies in the play with my distributor drive and/or my distributor. I think it's more my drive play, which is about 1/16" which allows the drive to move back and forth. I believe if I close this gap with a shim or two, it might help and keep the drive in one position while turning freely.
Please let me know if you can.
Ted
