Rick - I think you are correct about about the shaft issue. Bottom end play will also wear out a distributor faster to. But the real answer I suspect is the given reality that the stock stuff, no matter how bad it is, seems to last well past 100K miles. With that in mind your proposal may help a distrib. last for over say, 200K miles. I suspect the extra costs involved may not warrant the higher cost when you buy it, even for a high end piece. Its about money I would think.
