Distributor Rebuild

[Damien]

Hi all.

I'm rebuilding a Delco distributor and installing a Pertronix 1181 module at the same time and came across a couple of small issues.
Upon disassembly I found that it was missing the felt washer and oil well seal. I've managed find a felt washer on ebay but am struggling with the oil well seal. Do we know if this is being reproduced?

TIA.

Try Paragon Corvette. They used to sell a complete rebuild kit for them.

X2 0n Paragon, I bought this kit and some other distributor pieces from them about eight months ago.

That's nice to know, most are pretty crusty. I think that's the shaft you're using behind the CRC cap? It doesn't have the spiral oil groove that I see on some shafts, but couldn't tell you the rhyme or reason. It also appears to have a bit of wear, or at least a small groove which may not be of any concern.

Thank you gents.

for my dist rebuild, I just used a plastic clear gallon milk jug and cut out a ring from a flat section

I'm thinking the same thing given it's a $2 seal and it's $29 postage to Australia! Lol.
