On a delco dist (point or HEI), when it is completely disassembled all the way down to the bare housing, there is a pocket, chamber, cavity or whatever you want to call it, which surrounds the upper bushing, that cavity is divided into 5 equal sections. Each section is about 3/4in deep and there is a thin, clear plastic seal that covers the top of this cavity.
Now, here is my question. What is that cavity supposed to be filled with? When I clean and rebuild one, the stuff that I clean out of the cavity looks like it may be old, dried out grease with a lot of dirt mixed in with it. In the past I have always refilled this cavity with a heavy grease. Anyone know for sure?
