Hank,

The CE plate with the "thingy" is an oil resivior (sp.?) for the bearing/bushing. They are both Delco. Both should have a felt running from the oiler cap through a cut in the bearing/bushing. If you want to upgrade the CE plate get one that has a ball bearing. This way the generator armature is supported by two ball bearings instead of one and a bushing. These were used on the heavy duty units, but will fit your generator.

Good to hear from you again.
