Few people know that the felt pad under the rotor in a 1.9 distributor
takes a drop of light oil now and then.
It lubes the centrifugal advance system.

I treat *everything* for corrosion when I find some  present..otherwise
I don't service distribtors much ..like remove and service.
Want to have clean contacts where the plug plugs on the side..
and since that plastic breaks easily there when it's old, I tend to
leave that alone unless there is a reasonto undo it.

I'm in the process or putting together a spare one to add to my parts collection in case I need it, or somebody I happen upon that might need some help. While doing this I just started wondering if this is something one should do as a routine maintenance thing
