Oh I'm not insisting that there IS a problem, I'm just curious... the shaft on distributors I've taken apart has a spiral groove (about 2 turns/inch) that draws oil up the shaft. The groove is in the shaft itself. Spin it backwards, no oiling. Most of my old distribs died from lack of oil; crudded up grooves and dry bushings... probably took 10 - 20 years to die though. _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
