I've never run across this before. Its important to note that the hold down bolt is doing it's job as the distributor itself is not moving. Only the cap and base that the cap attaches to is moving.
If I grab the distributor cap and try to turn it in either direction I have about an inch total play left and right. I am making the movement similar to adjusting the timing yet the hold down bolt is 100% tight. The distributor itself is NOT moving....only the cap and base that the cap is mounted to.
I went to my local parts store and looked at a new dist. It did not have the play in it and was tight.
I'm thinking the play isnt normal so is this a repair or replace situation?
