On a AC model B or C with a dist. the lubrication fitting on the dist. is it supposed to be a oil cup or a grease fitting on mine it has a grease zerk i don't see how you can force grease through a oil lite bushing but ma be it is possible . Thanks Don
 
All I have ever seen was an oil cup sort of thing. I have 2 C's hat I could go look at to be 100% sure
 
I have had the bushing out of a distributor, and you are right, there is no way for the grease to
get to the actual bearing surface. I put oil in these plugs once in a while. It may after a bit
soak through the pours bushing. The gear box behind the coil under the distributor takes grease
though and you don't want it to be too old and dry. Take the cover off and clean out and fill it
mostly full of grease. If I remember there is another such plug in the horizontal shaft that drives
the distributor from the governor too, oil that one the same as the distributor.
 
The plug on the horizontal part was not standard on AC, but was on the very popular Delco Remy dist. drive/aftermarket magneto replacement. Some of the later AC's ran a little oil line back there to squirt on the gear area.
 
If it is the after-market distributor, the factory service bulletin says "the distributor shaft and the drive shaft are lubricated by seepage of grade 20 W oil from reservoirs through porous bushings. Gear chamber is packed with No. 2-1/2 grease. Normally additional lubrication will be required only at 500-hour intervals."

It appears that a pipe plug is used to close the reservoirs.
