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.
