So I pull the dist off and and pulled it apart. I found that the shaft has some definate wear issues. It did have some side to side play. I removed the pin which holds on the bottom piece which goes over the tongue of the oil pump shaft and the pin was worn in a way that would indicate that the oil pump shaft is bent. After pulling the dist shaft out of the housing I noticed that the bottom bushing was worn on one side more towards the end and the other side was dark and not worn at all. So I called around and found a reman distributor from a shop who works on everything but works more on IH stuff. Cost me 175.00 and it came with points/cap and all appeared to be new.
Drove home and installed the new dist. Was disappointed when the bobble was still there. I then loosened the hold down bolts while runinng and the whole dist was wobbling in my hand. If was totally noticeable by sight after the bolts were loose. I moved it a little but it was still wobbling and it felt like it was grinding a bit. Shut her down and took it off.
Is the oil pump shaft bent???? why and how would it bend? Can a bent shaft wear out the housing that holds it and in short ruin a block? I'm afraid if I replace the oil pump I have damage to the block which will allow this wobble to continue with a straight shaft or not?
Is the cam bent?????
did I install the oil pump wrong?????? It only has two bolts.....
As with my first post a little further down the page this bobble was the same before the rebuild with the weak worn out motor and now after all the cash and machine work. Could I have a bent cam shaft? I would like to think that would have been discovered when it was reground and heat treated.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
