Thanks for the comments.
I've had a more thorough look at the distributor and the radial play is probably enough to affect the points opening and hence the timing.
I don't really have the money to get it refurbished so was considering re-bushing it myself but, although I'm a retired engineer, I don't have much in the way of equipment apart from a light drilling machine and normal hand tools.
Has anyone on here done this themselves and if so how tricky was it? I believe The Distributor Doctor may be able to supply bushes but presumably these would have to be reamed out after fitting.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
John.
