Oil leaking from distributor
I have a 1976 f600 with a 361. I'm having oil coming out of a hole on the side of the distributor shaft next to the hose that goes to the governor on the carburetor it used to have a plastic plug just pushed in this hole and now its gone and oil is shooting everywhere. Please help

Has the distributor ever been replaced?
