Jack,
I believe something is missing.
Between the small spring & the distributor shaft should be a small round
felt wick. The spring pushes on the wick.
The grease/oil travels down this wick to the distributor shaft. The
spring should NOT rub directly on the shaft, & the lube should not go
directly to the shaft. The wick on yours may be missing.
I think heavy oil was originally recommended.
