[Healeys] Question

[Oudesluys]

Bob,
The felt is often missing and in my opinion not really a neccessity if 
you check the distributor regularly and at the same time add a drop of 
oil (3in1)on that spot. It is for lubricating the top lobed part that 
rotates on the distributor shaft when the timing is adjusted by the 
weights / springs. At the same time add a drop of oil onto the pivoting 
and sliding points of the weights and springs using light oil (3in1), 
this is often forgotten.
Presumably the felt should release some oil to lubricate when soaked, at 
least that is the theory. If it realy works like that long term???????
