Turns out, those are not lobes - it’s the magnetic pickup that slips over the lobes. I guess I could have just swapped out the Pertronix with points. Regardless, I have a new distributor with points - old school!
It did drive a bit better, a little bit more crisp on the throttle response.
While driving, I remembered the linkage adjust, which truns out, may have been a bit off. I adjusted it and started it; it does open the throttle plate all the way now.
I will drive it tomorrow and follow up.
