Since I had to remove my distributor gear to re-pin it anyway, I decided to just completely disassemble the distributor for inspection and a good cleaning. The book shows a small bakelite disk at the inside end of the spring that is in the hole where the grease cup provides grease to the shaft. Mine did not have this bakelite disk, nor did it have anything else at that point. So my question is where can I find one of these disks, and if the answer is nowhere, then what would be a good substitute for it?
