The dual point units came with 2 thrust washers and the single points only 1 so might have been a simple assembly line mistake. Take off one of the washers and reassemble it & (re)check for end play and binding

Ok- without the extra thrust washer, I can get the end play to .010 (I managed to snag the Moroso distributor washer kit so I got a few different washer thicknesses to play with) with a single washer. Is that close enough? If not, I can try using combinations of washers to see if I can get it closer...

Holler if getting the dizzy squared away takes care of the stumbling. If it does not we'll keep on it

Question on reinstalling the Pertronix sensor - I've got the installation sheet and it makes no mention of setting a gap between the sensor and the magnet sleeve. Is the gap critical or would just making sure there's clearance between the magnet sleeve and sensor good enough?

Some progress- the distributor is back together again. The gap still needs adjustment and I'm still looking for my plastic gauge (I suspect it's out in the shed and I won't be able to get to that until the weekend) so the distributor hasn't been reinstalled yet. I did slice out a 'window' on the ruined cap between two plug wire terminals to check the gap with the corrected end-play and the new rotor with the .060" longer blade and it fits great- a much smaller gap than with the original rotor, and the rotor tip misses the bases of the plug wire terminal posts by at least a 1/8". So it looks like the original problem is taken care of... Hopefully when I find that gauge I'll be posting again this weekend to report on any changes in the engine....
