The local bug nut said the shaft had too much play in it and he thought it was worn out. I have another question about points. I've been using a feeler gauge, then checking with the tach dwell. I have a lot of trouble with the gauge. When I slip it between the points, I feel a little bump in there---is that normal, or is there some kind of blemish or deposit on the point (I think it's on the one that doesn't move, the one to the left). If it's normal, should the gauge slip under the bump, or do I just put it on the side of the bump?
