distributer problems.

[brian.b]

hey guys i took the cab off my distributer today to set the points and seen brass shavings so i looked at it and i think the bearing in the distributer is going out,,you can move the rotor buton back and forth alot and side to side i think the button is grinding the cap points,,can you buy the bearings to rebuild the dist ....and if not can you buy a new distributer,,,any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks guys for all the help.

is there a diagram of the distributor and how can i tell if mine is an atutolite or not.does the main shaft come with a bearing.

Shaft and bushings will be separate, should be a plate or stamping somewhere on the distributor with brand name

[brian.b]

how can i get a parts list,,and how much,,,or can i just order the bushings offline.

Up to 1950 is Autolite, 1951 after is Delco-Remy
