Red face Please tell me is this looks right/wrong?

Here are some pics of the distributor (86 3.2).
The problem MUST lie here, as the new cap of less than 20 rough miles now has the locating notch worn already!. Also the cap- plastic is worn around the graphite contact inside!. The graphite contact is staring to wear also. The new (3rd) rotor is chamferring the inside of the cap!!!!.
To do this it must be rising to a point where it tries to push and rotate the cap!!!.
I will definatley need a new cap and rotor again!!!.
But what is causing this?
I looked into the hole, but am not sure what I should be looking for, none of the teeth on the gears look bad to me!
When the dist. was still installed the shaft would rotate a small amount as the 'gadgets' inside would allow it- normal?.
But there was no vertical movement apparent???. I tried twisting and rotating but nothing.
If no one can see anything, what is my next step?.
Jonny W., Warren, Rolund are ya out there?.
hope someone has a clue!




I can post other pics if it helps!
Comments?????
