I would second the recommendation to send it to Jeff @ Advanced Distributors. He will rebuild, re-bush, and re-curve your distributor to better than new condition, and then fit points or electronic guts, whichever you prefer.

If you want to go electronic you can buy one from simonbbc and a few folks on the forum have had good experiences with them. Website is simonbbc dot com (can’t add urls to Rovernet messages for some reason).

That post is loose, creating a ground issue and rough running.   A temporary fix is proving unreliable, so is the only solution to replace the entire distributor?  I didn’t think that the post is a separate part or item, so I assume that replacing the distributor is the only option?
