I ordered a rear distributor bushing for my front mount 8n and have a question..
The distributor has the 2 small holes on the back side, one on the top and one on the side of the bushing housing. I saw on a vid that these holes are supposedly there to allow some oil to work it's way into the bushing and provide lube to the distributor shaft.
Is this accurate?
I also noticed the current bushing has no hole to allow the oil to reach the shaft. Should I drill a small hole in the bushing to give the oil a path? I also do not see any lube holes in the new ordered bushing.
note: Can't say I notice much oil on the back side of the distributor when I have it off the engine..
Can the old bushing be tapped out using a appropriate size socket and the new installed in a similar manner?
