I'm working on the distributor for my F-162 Continental 4 cylinder. It has a lot of slop, but not in the main shaft/bushings. They are .002-.003 clearance between the shaft and bushings. The slop is in the spiral-cut upper shaft that the centrifugal advance pivots on. There's way too much wear on that shaft, so the advance mechanism can cock back and forth enough that the rotor rubs up against the cap contacts. I've been looking for a NOS shaft, but a shaft for this Prestolite IAT-4405 distributor does not seem to be available. Any help finding a shaft would be appreciated. I'm thinking of building up the shaft with brass brazing and turning it down to closer tolerances. Would that work?
This distributor had a vacuum advance on it at one time. The plate pivots well. Is it worth scrounging up a vacuum module for it, in a MH 101 Jr? Right now it has a chunk of copper wire holding it in a fixed position.

I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
