Thanks, David. Is this the felt? I saw this listed in Parts.

QUESTION: To spray the clutch, I have to prop the clutch foot pedal and stick the brake cleaner nozzle between the flywheel and clutch. But I'd like to rotate the flywheel to spray it more thoroughly.

Problem is, the distributor is out of the car. I know it has to go back and interface with the oil pump the same way it came out, or it won't run properly.

Before I pulled it, I took these photos. If I turn over the engine with the starter only, the oil pump is going to turn, right?

If, when I'm ready to put the distributor back in, I turn over the engine until the oil pump accepts the distributor in that same 5 o'clock position, will I be ok? Or could the oil pump be 180 degrees off?

Or should I spray what I can now, and wait til the distributor is back in the car before turning the engine over?
