Ford 961 distributor

I am working on a Ford 961 distributor.

When checking out the advance it does not seem right. One set of weights seems to be loose on the return like the spring is broken, the other set feels good. Is there a flat steel spring on each set that pulls them back?

There is also a lot of play between the center shaft and the lobes.

Advice wanted, thanks.
 
Assuming your 9x1 distributor is the same as my 9x0, yes
there is a spring on each side of the advance weights.
There is on all of the Fords I've worked on thus far.

I'm not sure I follow where you are seeing the play, but there is
very little side-to-side play anywhere in the distributor on mine.
