Distributor buzzing.

So got the FB restarted this weekend. I'm trying to get the car working properly from A to B. Trouble is the distributor is buzzing, no clue why.

Anyone heard this kind of noise before:

The cap is clean, I've done a 2GDLIFS and am running an S5 alt.

The cap is misaligned, so the rotor is hitting the contacts inside the cap.
