'71 2.2 Distributor Problem
 

Are there any aftermarket distributors for a 2.2l to eliminate the points? My distrib. cam shaft moves up 5mm if I pull it, and I am having engine shutdowns because of erratic point operation.
Or , is rebuilding the dist. something I can easily do?

Look into 2.7 Carrera dizzy. New about $280 Call Pelican first

Art,

It sounds as if your snap-ring under the felt plug wasn't replaced, or maybe it came loose. It should be an easy fix to the 5 mm play problem.

There is quite an extensive discussion of distributor disassembly and cleaning in the following thread:
