TR6 Distributer shaft question

[Creigtrium@aol.com]

How much slop should there be in the distributer shaft?  I was replacing my 
pioints and rotor tonight and when I put the rotor on the top of the shaft, I 
can turn the shaft a good 5 to 10 degrees back and forth.  Is this right?

Now that I have a new rotor and points the car is running really well.  So 
I'm not asking because I have a problem.  I am just asking out of curiosity.

Thanks all.
