I see the '47-'53 lube chart shows the distributor getting oil/grease. Does my '58 235 distributor have any lube requirements? Thanks, Terry

Hi Terry! I use regular, everyday, gear grease. The same as when you lube the chassis. Unscrew the grease cup, clean it out really good and fill it up. Then screw it in a few turns. Every now and then, give it another few turns pushing the grease through the spring, onto the pad and into the shaft. Brilliant in its simplicity!Deve Krehbiel

Yeah, some of the rebuilders cheaped out and put a zerk in that hole. It is not the same really. It doesnt provide any push except when you grease it so the grease doesnt last very long on the shaft. I make a habit of giving that cup a 1/4 turn every thousand miles or less. Not sure if that is enough or not, but its better than nothing!Deve Krehbiel
