>> "The Distributor housing is thoroughly cleaned and then machined
for a second oilite bushing at the base. With two bushings, the shaft is
stabilized, effectively eliminating dwell variation. These bushings
are line bored to be in perfect alignment.---------------------Smitty says:   I seriously doubt the value of installing a second bushing in a distributor.  The bottom of the shaft where it is tapered may not be the finest fit but it would have to be horribly sloppy to allow an influence on dwell like the normal bushing does when it is worn.  All a second bushing does is prevent lubricating oil from getting to the normal bushing.  All arguments to the contrary will receive the same answer.  You Are Wrong.  ggg
