On my son's coupe, I am rebuilding the distributor. There are two scoring lines near the end of the shaft. Any idea what would cause this, something else to check, and is it okay to use or should I buy a new lower shaft?

Santa Anita A's had 16 cars in total, plus there were a few others from other businesses. https://youtu.be/s3dPozGiwoY?si=tiKzevhm1oMGgr2j&t=935

Followup. We're going to return the items we received. The company was pleasant enough to tell me the glass shift knob (still in their online catalog) was discontinued. I received no confirmation email or shipping information, and it just showed up today. Going to return it. Not the wanted or...

Thanks all!

At an auction, I bought an HP valve cover. Can anyone tell me anything about this valve cover? It is unmarked. Can tell me what the tabs are for? I intend to take them off when I install the cover on my '32 B engine. Thanks!

& it looks good too!
