[QUOTE=Bruce Adams
The bearings CAN be oiled if you have either purchased or modified the distributor shaft with a verticle shaft where the screw goes in on top, connecting to a horizontal shaft that permits oil to lube the bearing directly.(This is an after-market item or a local modification)[/QUOTE]

I second the comment that Bruce made about the mod that can be made to the distributor shaft. This change really helps the longevity of the bushings in the distributor. It is a simple and inexpensive change that simply makes a lot of sense. Gar Williams
