It all sounded kind of familiar...and now the *rest* of the
story.

After the advice (mostly offlist) and checking this and checking
that, I received no DON'T DO IT warnings.  I only had 4 engines
to look at when I wrote those posts and I've since been blessed
with a pile of 8 or 9 more to investigate.

I went ahead and installed the distributor drive shaft with the
(apparently appropriate) 2 shims and no spacer.  I installed the
engine and with any luck at all this weekend will be the first
start-up.

I will pass along my findings.
