It looks like I unintentionally confused things by using an example photo of a '57 distributor in my previous comment.
The original Loadomatic style distributor in a '55 or '56 has no felt oil wick in the top center of the distributor shaft. But as with all points style distributors there is a lobe and rubbing block lubricant that should be lightly used.
