Stock H6 carb bodies do not have throttle shaft bushings, the aluminum
casting has to be drilled for the new bushings. The book says not to drill
all the way through, but leave a thin wall of aluminum between each bushing
and the main bore. Easiest way to do this is with a lathe, using a center
in the tail stock to hold the two holes perfectly aligned while drilling
each side. I was able to do something similar, by clamping a piece of wood
to my drill press table and drilling a hole in it just the size of the shank
of a make-shift center (actually a 5 blade countersink with a 1/4" shaft).
But experience definitely helps here, my first attempt had to be reamed
afterwards while the second attempt did not.

It's found in other forms as well. Most CV joint greases have lots of moly
in them, and should be available at any auto parts store. I'm personally
quite fond of the spray-on MoS2 dry lubricants, but they're hard to find in
stores. Try asking for "Dri Slide" at your local sporting goods store, or
mail order from McMaster-Carr.
