Just finishing up the rebuild on my '47 and and noticed a scuff on the bushing for the distributor drive.
Figured I would just clean it up before I reinstalled the governor/drive so I grabbed some wd-40 and crocus cloth and I went and made it worse.
What ever the material is in that bushing it's super soft, softer then anything I've ever worked with before. That was just a light test touch.
There's no oil pressure there, it's just drip lubed and I can't imagine there's any load there either, think I should just run it?
I would replace it but CIH want's $75.00 bucks for it! The one that's in there was new, when I bough the bear block it was missing. God I wish I knew when to let things be....
