Response to Ignition trigger

I'm not using a crank trigger; the distributor is a FAST unit that has both the crank and cam sensor installed in the distributor itself. So, the spark scatter is coming from the slop in the distributor.

Late last night I was able to take some .002" brass shimstock and shim between the hex on the distributor shaft, and the hex receptacle in the engine. The distributor is now installed nice and tight, and there is no more slop in the shaft. Looking forward to running the engine tonight after work...
