My 1955 Speedster Delco distributor rotor has been hitting the contacts in the caps. Enough to put grooves in them. I replaced the recently installed cap and rotor and had the same results again. So assuming the distributor was worn out, I purchased a used Delco 1110864 1957 distributor to replace it. I just finished cleaning it up and decided to put one of the previously used rotors on it. That rotor and the other one I have both fit very loosely. They can be moved side to side and up and down when installed on both distributors. Is this normal or are they the wrong rotors? I thought these should fit tightly.
If anyone has the part numbers from NAPA for the cap and rotor I would appreciate having them so I can get the correct parts.
One other concern. As I was nearly done putting the distributor back together again I noticed that about 1/5 of the top of one gear tooth has been chipped off. Do I dare use it?
The current parts are from CarQuest. Cap is #51-1608 Rotor #51-5783
