    Hello everyone,

    I recently picked up a 1969 1111334 distributor for my 350 4 Barrel car and while its in good condition the rubber components among other things have seen better days. Fortunately the shaft bushings are in good condition and the endplay was correct so I'm cleaning it up and reassembling. Is there a source for parts for the common Delco points distributor? I've looked over at Everyday Performance and there is a rebuild kit available for sale however I was curious if there was another place I could find parts, just to survey my options. I found a site called Corvette Central that offers some parts but other than that I haven't had much luck. Also underneath the plastic seal that is beneath the felt washer, is that area meant to be filled with grease? On disassembly there was what appears to be some sort of waxy substance that filled the housing, I'm unsure if that's old grease chunks or if there is a specific lubricant that needs to be there.

    Thanks, any info is appreciated!

    TA Perf has the upper and lower bushings

    Yes, the cavities are supposed to be filled with grease, upper and lower

    Thanks!
    I was able to get the parts I need, the upper cavity underneath the felt washer and plastic washer makes sense but what seals in the grease in the lower cavity? Also is there a certain grease I should use? From searching around I found that Lucas Red N Tacky Grease was recommended for GM Points distributors, do both cavities need to be filled to the brim?
