I spoke to lots of people today about 1960 Ford distributors and got a number of small little parts being sent my way to get this thing back together in good shape.
The only items I didn't find was the upper and lower shaft bushings. Hopefully mine are in OK shape. I will look tonight. They are almost impossible to find. I got a lot of help from Tim O'Connor at Tim O'Connor's Ford Distributor repair (
http://428cobrajetcars.com/home), who has been rebuilding these since 1966 and has forgotten more than I will ever know. He did tell me that you need a special tool to remove the upper bushing and told me where to look to see if it's in good shape. the lower bushing is smaller and easier to knock out and inspect.
There seems to be some demand for these bushings, surprising no one makes them.
Anyway, thanks for all your help and I'll report back what I find tonight.
