Default Help on my distributor - distrib.jpg (0/1)

I have attached the Service Manual illustration of my 1955 Nash
Rambler distribtor which is giving me trouble. It then gives
instrution folr maintenace, but does not show parts of the distributor
it refers to


The oiul reservoir should be filled every 10,000 miles.

But where is the place to put in the oil?

Also place a few drops of light engine oil on the breaker lever pivot.

But where is that?

The individual breaker and support plates are not serviced seperately.
Saturate the lubricating felt with light oil ever 5000 miles

I don't see any felt? Where do you put the oil?


A bit of ball bearing gfrease should be put on the cam every 5000
miles?



Also, when explaing timeing it says the following

Locate the number one piston in firing position.

I presume the number one cylender is thefirst one on the block,
starting behind the radiator.

But where is the firing position?


I realize I am a simpleton, but I do need help. I hope someone will
post or Email me.
