I think you had your doubts about the distributor early on. If it’s a genuine Bosch, strip it down and clean it up, fairly straightforward (provided there’s no internal damage) once the bottom pin is out. New fibre washers are available, I found some on eBay.I've been out on this again this evening and noted the following:
The distributor is quite stiff and always tries to spring back to a "favourite" position—is this normal?
The timing light I am using is always on, rather than being off and coming on. Also, it only seems to work when I rotate the engine backward (anti-clockwise). During normal (clockwise) rotation, the light doesn't ever go off.
Glad you’re getting it sorted though .
