Distributor oiling

[classiclover]

How much and often do I put oil in my 1940 Ford distributor. Small opening on right side of distributor with a little door.

Thanks

The lube chart shows a few drops every 1000 miles.

the cup should have a little piece of felt inside it just wet the felt a few drops will generally do it
