I originally asked the question, cause I know not everyone uses it.....the cam on this was brown and sticky....I wondered what in Gods name did somebody smear on this thing....had to clean it with alcohol to cut it....what a mess....it was my first time in this dizzy....bought the 213 over the summer at auction!

My father passed away in 1981; I used the tube that was in his tool box until 4-5 years ago. Stuff lasts forever.

Any GOOD auto parts store will have distributor cam lubricant.

I bought a tube of Std. Ign. Lubricam in the late 1960s. To this day, I have used much less than 1/2 of it.
