that doesnt sound right, make sure the rotor is all the way down in the distributor shaft.
If it aint broke, lets modify it!

It shouldn't move around while running. Because of the way the cap is fastened, you can rotate it slightly.

As gentz says, recheck the rotor button fit as this is only moving thing in there that could influence the cap to move. regards aussiebill.
