I finally got some garage time in this afternoon. A local farm store had those 1/2" machinery bushings, so I filed them a bit to get the needed clearance. There are two shims placed above the distributor gear which leaves me with 0.010" of distributor shaft end play. This quite an improvement from the 0.125" that I started with........

Thanks to all,
