Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Here's a shot of an easy way to avoid the cam or gear from making contact with the cover! That is a Comp Cams (SBC) nylon "button" with the end play checked and adjusted as needed!
Looks like that solution will plug the oilhole coming out of the cam lubricating the drivegears...or am i missing some solution to that ?

Hello Flatheadmurre, I looked closely at and around the distributor drive gear and do not see an oil hole out the end of the cam or anywhere around the area. Oil diagrams indicate the cam and crank gear receive their oil from the front cam bearing. I noticed the only lube on the end of the distributor when I removed it for this inspection was the grease that I put on the teeth. Makes me even more concerned about correct mix and match of parts.

Thank you

Marc
