I had seen the Toyota on BaT and was going to post it up... Many of the cars from this era are too small for me. It one reason I probably won't ever have a Ferrari. The ones I can afford are too small. The 240Z is nice and roomy an anomaly of the day it seems

Selector detent springs can also cause this problem. We discussed this in the site PM. The problem with 54 needs to be solved before you move forward. It will only get worse and could damage the shaft beyong repair.

The other thing that often fails on the old distributors is the bearing mechanism under the vacuum advance breaker plate. The bearings and the surface get rusty, the balls stick, and the plastic cage breaks. Most people probably don't notice (I didn't) because it just stops the vacuum advance timing adjustment from working. Here's some instructions showing what's in there. The main difference would be points instead of electronics on top. https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributorrebuild/index.html If you have a good functional distributor then a Pertronix unit might be a good choice. If your distributor is gummed up, maybe look around for other options. It's all part of the game.

Oops, I looked for 1982 which uses the E12-92 module ( not available) and searched E12-80 on the internet. Thanks for checking. The Rockauto E12-80's look like they came from the same mold. Two choices. $42 or 126.
