Optispark Questions

Took the optispark distributor off my 1995 LT1 engine. The inside looked remarkably good for 105,000 miles. Now 2 questions:

The disk that rotates to trigger the spark is not perfectly flat. It might even touch the pickup. Is this a problem?

The shaft going through the case has some wooble. Rotor and cap don't show any signs of off center wear. Is this a problem?

Thanks.

the wobble is not good. I have seen plenty of the wheels that rub.

The bearing is worn out...so its best to just get a new one.
