Recently I have been using a clear distributor cam lube made by Wells. I dont swipe any on the distributor cam until AFTER I have run it on the sun Machine. After I polish the cam they are usually slick as can be. My therory is that it helps the points break in on the machine without it.. Maybe that's a wrong theory??

Whats your thoughts? I've learned a lot reading what you post on here, and am open to any "why the heck is he doing this" thoughts from you.
