marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

...Here You can see the Dist. Drive Gear Seat. To the Right is the Allen Head Plug at the end of the oil Gallery. Unscrew it Chuck it up in the Lathe and drill a .030" Hole directly through it's center; You'll need a Precision 'Micro' Chuck, Held in A Jacobs Chuck, or Better, a Collet. Spin it Fast and feed the Drill Very Slowly. Don't forget the 'Cutting Fluid'. As You can see in the picture, the center of the Plug is aimed Right at the Circumference of the Gear. The Small Stream of Oil hits It Right in The Teeth! If Youy hear an Intermittent 'Chatter' That sounds like a rocker Arm going out, This is It! The Gear Not getting enough Lubricant! After This Modification, I never heard another Odd Sound out of the Distributor Drive; Again!...
