<VV> Brass distributor drive gear

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

But it can move out a bit, and that changes timing A LOT.   As it moves 
in and out, it changes the relation to the dist gear in degrees.  I had 
this 
exact problem on my 64 engine.  Bolt on balancer was not cranked down.   I 
could watch the timing flop 30 degrees back and forth with a timing light. 
Also was hell on the fuel pump eccentric.
