BETTER but -New theory - DJET–Worn Distributor /trigger points

So ol Pearl has been through every DJET test I know to perform, the electrical system has been vetted but ( and it is better) the misfire returns. Seems only when hot now. Pick up is good, no lag, no ping, plug tips look good, fuel pressure normal, no vac leaks. Pulling 17 on the vac guage. No leak down of pressure after shutting her off . EVERYTHING IS WITHIN SPECS and that is why this is driving me crazy

I have not adjusted CO with meter , but will, I hope, soon as I have a line on a CO meter ( old retired gent in town ) .
I am having hard time thinking that is the issue though, this seems electrical
So going through my components that could be failing
Coil- doubt this – probably would not run or run very poorly
Points /condenser – fairly new , Dwell - good ( see note below)
Distributor – worn bushings? I have dwell that kinda bounces around a few degrees when running
Trigger points – I have two sets, both act the same , but could be worn equally.??

OH master GRAHAM or others
here are the questions for the day .
1. what are symptoms of a worn distributor shaft/bushings and could this be the cause
2. How do I confirm – wobble ?? measure something??
3. What can be done for a “loose” or worn distributor?
4. trigger points – is the simple on off ohm test when distributor rotates a good enough test?
5. Is it possible that this is all CO related - ???

Open to ideas and suggestions , but really focused on this dizzy – anyone have a known good one or where I could find one??
