The distributor wobble is normal at idle. I wouldn't worry about that.

The HEI distributor conversions are great if you can get one that has been remachined properly. There is a guy on EBAY that sells tons of them--but avoid him at all cost. His call name is HEIDIZZY on Ebay. DO NOT BUY ONE FROM THAT GUY!!!!! He has screwed everyone he sells to. Jim Carter Classic trucks carries an HEI conversion but I don't know how good they are.

I have seen rebuild kits and the entire updraft carbs on Ebay as well.
