I don't know a solution for sure, but what about cleaning up the metal shaft & then machining & installing a thicker bushing?  Feasible ?..




NOS distributor shafts are readily available, and not especially expensive, BUT, they are of the earlier style that takes the cast "comma" style centrifugal flyweights. This style of weight have a hardened steel pin that rides in the reluctor slots, with long use these become excessively worn. This type of reluctor in turn is hard to source, and or expensive. So the whole operation quickly turns into a small to medium pain in the you know what. A good distributor with in spec dimensions and runout or side wobble tolerances is key to getting a smooth running motor under different operating conditions, an ignition scope will bear this out. Many hard to diagnose idle problems can be traced back to a worn distributor, excessive backlash in the gear, etc. This is true even with electronic points replacement modules. They are less affected than mechanical points but they are not immune.
