Reply to "Low oil pressure"

There is not a direct connection to an oil passage, but there is a hole drilled between the lower distributor shaft guide hole you refer to and the #1 cam bearing journal. There is a slot in the #1 cam bearing that feeds this hole with oil from the #1 cam bearing oil passage. Oil normally squirts from this hole onto the backside of the upper timing gear, and feeds the lower end of the distributor shaft.

Its hard to say how much difference it would make between having a shaft in the hole and not, since that hole is designed to freely squirt oil on the cam gear already. The slot in the cam bearing that supplies this hole is not very deep, oil flow is restricted already.
