I agree with you on some sort of oiling scheme for the lower dist. bushing/bearing! But, my distributor housing does not have a cross drilled hole. So the only lube it will get is from splash off the cam/crank or leak down from the oil galley hole which intersects with the dist. hsg. So I'm wondering if I need to worry about the hole (which your picture shows) in my ..2657 block which is plugged?? If pressurized oil from the oil galley would work it way up (or down) the distributor housing, it would overflow the top of the cast tower in the block. Hmmmm..... Does your distributor have the cross drilled hole? Does anyone else have a distributor housing w/o the cross drilled hole shown in on of the above pictures? ... Thanks... Dan
