Well, it looks like the distributor is shot. Took it out, and it is completely seized up, doesn't turn at all.

But looking at the gear, you can see where the teeth are shaved down. So now my question is, is my cam screwed up? Can I get away with just putting a new one in?

Here are pictures I took of the distributor that I took out:

pic 1, you can see where the thickness of the teech is worn: http://home.comcast.net/~matt.bradley/dist1.jpg

pic 2, look at all these metal shavings. I can hear something rattling around inside: http://home.comcast.net/~matt.bradley/dist2.jpg
