I've read about the 1000 hour maintenance of the distributor, just hadn't gotten to that on my list o' stuff to do until today. I'm replacing the distributor with a rebuilt, and in the process of moving things from the core to the new unit, ran into this: the way I see it the grease cup (item #2) drives grease to the distributor shaft by rotating it. Whats confusing to me is item #4, the fiber plug. It is flat on one side , concave on the other, obviously from riding on the shaft. It seems to be quite hard, more than I expected. Should I replace it? If so, any idea where to get one? Sorry this was so long. Ed

There was no response to above :rolleyes: , so I just put the old fiber plug in where I thought would be right. The grease cup almost did this distributor in, plenty of grease in there! Put some more pics on the page on how it looks now.

It's not rocket surgery. . . .
