Thanks... I called him and he's not doing that any longer. He walked 200 feet through 3 feet of snow to look for a spare one in his shop. (or maybe it was 4 feet of snow... I don't remember. But I appreciate him looking for one).

You may have more than one problem. The carburetor may also need adjustment.

When running at idle (distributor lever in the advanced position) move the body of the distributor for best idle. Tighten distributor. When starting the engine be sure to retard the spark. When started move the lever to advanced position.

Well, I've been fortunate to have a number of nice cars that I suppose I would take back. Altho I can't really say I would have done it any differently. The reason I sold them was I'd had my fun with them and felt it was time to move on.

The 1938 and up 3 speed also has a slinger nut and no seal. They don't leak unless there is something radically wrong.

NO - A rear main leak will not get the engine compartment full of oil. You may have a rocker arm cover gasket leak, side cover gasket or FUEL PUMP. I have had three different fuel pumps leak oil at higher speeds. The lever pivot pin leaks where it go
