Re: Distributor Lubrication Question

Also, most distributors that have vacuum advance also require occasional lubrication where the fixed and moveable breaker plates pivot - look for a small hole marked "oil" on the breaker plate on later Delco units and a repackable ball bearing on some Autolites.

Also an occasional drop of light oil on the pivots of the centrifugal advance weights.

There is a good article on distributor maintenance on The Packard Club forum.http://www.packardclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=861
