Wobbly dist—hard to disgnose/fix?

[dan]

Hey all,

I’m back in the market for an A to replace the one I sold when I left CA for McPherson colleges auto restoration program. I saw one today that I liked ok, but its distributor was wobbling something fierce. Probably moving 1/4 in in each direction as the shaft turned. All I could think of was a stand mixer trying to stir too much dough.

Ideas on how it might be to fix/causes?
