Hopefully someone can help me on a problem with my 1931 American Austin. My motor which is a mirror image of your Austin Seven has destroyed the fiber gear on the distributor. The timing gears are now also heavily worn. I have tracked the problem down to the camshaft moving forward and backward. Travel is between a 16th and an 8th of an inch. Can anyone advise me what can be done to get the camshaft to stay in position? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks: Arnie
