    Son of a beep. I got my distributor rebuild kit yesterday. Took everything apart. Got what I thought was ( a perfect fit ) socket to drive the old bushing out. Guess what? It wasn't a perfect fit. Housing busted. Now I'll be finding a new housing or two. Distributor one me zero. Lol.

    shipped out today, usps says monday delivery. you even get a bonus...i think you'l like it. not sure what your plans are, but i like the nurex top plate that uses modern points, and a new shaft that has a hole under the cam screw for oiling the bushings

Funny how easy things are with the proper tools. I'll be sending you a letter soon. Thank you again for your help.
