[QUOTE="snakesonastang, post: 346085, member: 10061"] To start things off, I'm replacing my intake and roller rockers, so we removed the distributor cap and inside the cap all the brass terminals was wore down severly. Also noticed the rotor's tip burned away, about 1/4 of an inch burned off. We removed the distributor to find that the shaft was not spinning freely. In fact, the shaft had to be forced to be turned. We took the distributor apart to find the internal shaft had no lubrication. This is an original distributor and a fairly new rotor and cap. Now this hasn't stop my motor from performing well, what I mean is no idle problems or miss firing at all. This was an accidental find. I was wandering if anyone else has had this problem? [/QUOTE]
