Anyone Done A Distributor Gear Oiling Mod On Amc V8?

I have a 304 in my 73 cj5 to cj6 stretch. I've seen some oiling line mods done to specifically oil the distributor gearing on the amc forums

Im thinking I would like to do something like this before I button My 304 back up.

I don't think threre is a issue with either of the gears on the cam or the dizzy right now but I did have to change out the distributor several years ago on the trail with a rebuilt unit to get home and it maybe only has 100 miles on it at most. I recently had to change out my double roller timing chain that has since wore out to a oe spec unit.

Probably overthinking it, but if I could direct some oil to those gears Im thinking it may alleviate any fears of the 2 eating themselves alive like I have seen lately on non stock components.

Has anyone t'eed off the the oil sending unit to divert oil to these gears out there?


TIA

 

no t on the sender but i did open the groove in the gear up some.

 

There is plenty on IFSJA about the timing gear oiling slots, which indirectly affects the distributor gear.

I'm sure there is lots more on the AMC forums about this topic.

Regarding the distributor gears, supposedly the matched set of MSD gears is good.

There is lots to read about his.
