What should end play be on the distributor shaft. Mine already has a fairly thick shim in there, but the play is still around 0.053"
Could this cause erractic ignition? It stumbled and backfire when trying to run

There is alot of play in the distribs, but they work fine.
Thanks.
With the gears cut at a angle, does mean it puls the shaft down when running?
I would assume so.
That amount of play is normal , if you have side to side play @ the breaker point cam because of a worn upper bushing and shaft that would change the dwell, The point gap when its running but i doubt that's your problem. I would test your condenser with a condenser tester or replace it with a new condenser. if you have access to a working distributor machine preferably with a condenser tester meter , there are a series of tests to evaluate the overall condition of the distributor. I test all condensers even new ones before i install them. I would not purchase new old stock condensers on line because they are 30& 40 & 50 years old and wont pass the leakage test 50% will fail. I perform distributor repair and testing & test them on a Sun 504 distributor machine. Check your accelerator pump shot on the carburetor if that doesn't work that would cause it to stumble & back fire, also check for vacuum leaks.

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
