[AT] Farmall distributors

  Got a couple Super A Farmalls with worn out distributors. I put a set 
of points in one last spring and it was almost impossible to get them 
set as the shaft has a ton of slop in it. I see there are a few 
aftermarket parts for these, so this must be a common problem. To be 
honest, I have never had to do anything to a distributor other than tune 
up items. I'm assuming there are some bushings, and maybe a shaft that 
need replacing. Anything in particular I should really look for? Not 
wanting to make them factory perfect as we don't use them enough to 
warrant that extensive of repair. But if I can wind the clock back 30-40 
years, well that's an acceptable amount of wear I can live with. Any 
advice is appreciated, probably won't get into them until first of the year.
