Hi,can anyone tell me how to fix a problem with my Bedford o type distributor. It tends to rock gently from side to side when the engine is running causing it to miss fire or run on less than 6 cylinders. I've tightened the clamp bolt and tried adjusting the screw that prevents it moving up and down on the side of the block. When I originally bought the lorry for restoration it had a wedge shaped piece of wood jammed behind the distributor so this must have been a long term problem. the hole in which the distributor fits could be worn however there is not enough gap to fit any shim steel etc. The only way I can get it to run properly when driving is to wedge the distributor as it was when I bought it. So if anyone has experienced the same problem or knows how to fix it I would be really grateful if you could let me know. Regards Mike
