I had a short tube on the last distributor and i flattened the tang on both sides a little to make it a comfortable fit in the slot.
Going back to my original question, could the bush possibly cause a problem.



Not by much at all... if the bushing is worn you
still wont get rotational play, you would get the
shaft moving side to side... if the chain is tight
then its down to the cam walking back and forth,
the intermediate shaft moving up and down or a dist
problem (binding then going free)
