Distributor Advance Lube ?

[12784563]

What type of lubricant is used on the pivot posts of the centifugal advance weights on a Nailhead distributor? Is it the same as the points rubbing block grease or a molybdenum disulfide paste or what?

you might put a drip of IT or sewing machine oil on the posts , very sparingly, but i use no oil . just make sure that the posts are shiny clean & the hole in the arms are as well . use a little camshaft lube on the points felt though .
