Educate me on distributor
If you have a hairline crack in top of distributor body and replace upper bearing/bushing what problem would crack cause? Wouldn't the bearing prevent the crack from opening any further and causing a wobble? And yes I have one with a crack.

When you ream the new bushing the crack will probably allow the bushing to turn and not ream.

I think a drop of loctite will stop that.

Re: Educate me on distributor
A crack in the distributor where it supports a bushing could allow the bushing to wallow around as the shaft rotates.
