Can I use the old upper shaft (with the collar at the top-end) to be the "Pusher"??? Of put a washer on the top end of the old shaft to provide more bushing surface to press the new bushing in.
Your collective wisdom's would be appreciated ... and any photo's drawings also would be helpful....Thank you

Very simple solution: You need a 5/16 bolt or threaded rod that is long enough to pass through the distributor plus the length of two bushings. put a washer or a washer and nut at both ends of the of the threaded rod. If a bolt is used use a washer at the bolt head and a washer and nut at the other end. Make sure the bore in the distributer for the bushings are clean. put the bolt with one washer and bushing and pass the rod or bolt through distributor and put another washer and nut on that end ( do one bushing at a time) oil the bushing and slowly tighten the nut. check the (alignment of the bushing) To finish the job you will have to ream the bushings with a reamer that both Bratton's or Snyder's sells.
