I need a part for a 88 F150 distributor. It's a bushing or sleeve that goes above the gear.?

Question

The new distributors have a different one that the existing distributor and I can't replace the distributor. Any ideas what this part is called or where you can get one?

Answer 1

there should be a busshing only at top of dist, the bottom is held in place by the gear and eng block. the seal is available thru napa( as soon as i find the # i'll let u know. it was a b*tch to find)

Answer 2

Try going to a salvage yard and getting a distributor like yours. It is real hard to find small parts to rebuild something. The NAPA store in our area has a good auto machine shop in the rear. A place like that may be able to get the part for you.
