distributor bushing source?

[JOHNCL]

I have not been able to find a source for the thin wall distributor bushings. Oilite bushings with a 9/16 od and 1/2 id is what seems to be needed.

Most suppliers have sold the distributor bushings. have you checked Bratton's or Snyder's

Try this guy. I have bought both sets of bushing for the 2 distributors for my 53' Merc Load-o-matic. He has been fast and the price is good.

Snyder's has 'em https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/product.htm?pid=976325&cat=41666

A person will also need a way to ream the bushings for proper sizing to the shaft.

I used a 1/2" long drill bit to hit both at the same time after pressing them both in, make sure the oil holes line up. The whole rebuild kit is not to hard to put in,w/modern type points and plates.https://www.brattons.com/DISTRIBUTOR-REBUILT-KIT-MODERN-PART/productinfo/17660/

The ones I have installed are rolled bushings. Don't try and use a straight flute ream.

I hone the bushings and haven't run into any trouble.
