I have seen distributors that were just wore out. Check the movements and the bearings on the shaft.

I dont think so... Your getting a 22* sweep.... So I dont think they are stuck, and you dont have the advance hooked up?
If the Motor Runs good up the RPM band to 2000 -3000... I would be looking possibly that the secondary on the carb might not be opening, If it's a Vacuum Secondary?
