I'm having trouble understanding what you're describing.
Are you saying that the distributor rotor shaft is not spinning?
Or are you saying that one of the ears of the distributor shaft made contact with the pole piece of a pick up coil (not likely).

The distributor rotor is driven by the camshaft which is driven by the crankshaft. Both are gear driven. I would make certain that the cam is rotating.

Yeah so the the ear (item 2) made contact with the pole (item 1) that is now spinning independently of the geared tooth portion of the shaft. The geared tooth part spins with the engine and you can’t spin it by hand but you can spin the upper part with the ears by hand. I added a picture to clarify. Item 1 was loose and what I assume happed is it vibrated it was closer and closer to the ears as it was running.
