Default Re: Dirty Points?

Vic. I would still like to know if oil in the distributor is common. I would't think it to be normal. I believe the spiral groove in the dist. shaft is there to act as a "dynamic seal", if that is the term, to keep oil from the cam getting in to the dist.. Is there a drain passage on the front cover to return oil to the pan that could be plugged? The dist. in question only had about 2500 miles in service before I swapped it.
