[Healeys] DM6A disty query

[Peter Ryner]

I don't know the availability of the bushings.  They were not available for 
my Spit many years ago and I had a machine shop manufacture one.  They 
didn't use the correct material and it lasted about halfway between Texas 
and Indiana.  Not fun replacing the dist while traveling.  Luckily it was in 
the day when there were british car junkyards in most every town so it was 
easy to find a $5 replacement dist and was back on the road.  The bushing 
has to be soaked in oil for a number of hours before installing too.
