I also used it between the block and the die cast holder. Claims excellent oil resistence, so probably good for timing cover too, but I will check end play. And yes to the post type distributor. No more dual points behind the V belt for me. After all, it's a little late to be worried about staying 'original' on the phantom woodie. Two more questions for this morning. Cast iron or aluminum timing cover? and I have NORS main bearings by Michigan Bearing Co. I bought on barn swap. I will post a pic. Surface is very shiney, oddly so. Should I buff them out with fine scotchbrite?
