Has anyone actually replaced the shaft bushings in their V8 distributor. Mine are worn to the point the distributor fails the test.

I can't find a source for the bottom bushing at all and don't really know if I have located the correct top one.

Also, how does one go about getting the old out and new in.

Thanks a BUNCH for any help you can give me!!!

24 plus years USAF (Airborne Electronics) then another 25 years in consumer electronics. When I finally retired, I concentrated on a dream I've had for many years. Found a donor 1974 Charger SE Brougham with almost the identical options my new triple black had back in '74. Has taken over eight years but the transformation is nearly completed.

2932988 was the rebuild kit I think back in the day but that is long gone.
3656802 is orig # for the dist 400-440, and they are just about everywhere new/rebuilt for around $80-90.
That number crosses at Napa & Rock Auto.

I simply destroyed the old one in pieces to remove it and installed the new one pressing in. Pretty much straight up.
