distributor bushings
 

I need to re bush the distributor shaft (not Model A)
will likely need to turn down an oversize bushing. Are there any specific types of brass bushing best suited for this ...oil lite or ??

Have you tried to obtain the correct bushings for your application? If you cannot get them I would use the same material as you are replacing.

This repair is for 31 Plymouth PA equipped with a Delco Remy 629 H
distributor. Pretty sure parts are not available.

Brass is entirely the WRONG material to use. They should be bronze, more particularly, Phosphur Bronze. I am assuming the bushes can be lubricated.
You should be able to buy either pre made bushes (We'd look at a bearing supply service) or buy a piece of bronze and make them.

I really doubt that those bushings are rare. Many Delco Remy distributors used the same housing bore size and shaft diameter.
