Distributor Question

[dirtywaterdiver]

My Ford distributor has long since lost that wee flip top cover on the side for putting oil to the shaft.

Anyone know the real name and where I can get a replacement?

Spring cap oiler or cup is common nomenclature. They are still out there. They have to be pressed in place. Here is a link to one supplier. https://www.restorationstuff.com/ecommerce/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=75
