Topic: 64 1/2 260 Distributor Resto Help Needed

[must69]

I am restoring the distributor in my July mid July 1964 built 260 Automatic Coupe.  The distributor has the lubrication cap going into the side of the shaft.  Is there some sort of material inside this shaft that is designed to prevent oil from leaking out of this tube? The tube seems to be blocked and before I remove the material I am curious if something is supposed to be there. 

Secondly, the original Vacuum diaphragm has a tear in it.  The diaphragm is not serviceable and the aftermarket part looks nothing like the original equipment part.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks Phil

Didn't know anything "happened" to him- (Chuck Barbaro) I've not had any reason to contact him since the last one he did for me. Couple hours driver so hes sort of local

I got two C5GF-12127-A distributors rebuilt by him last year and he indicated at that time he was tapering off due to a couple of items, age and parts availability. He does (or did) and excellent job.
