1959. 223 distributor
I was wondering if anyone knows if I am supposed to line my distributor? Found this port that looks like a place to add oil. If so what type of oil?

The shop manual says to fill the cup with 10W.

Thanks, I just found it in the manual as well, I had missed it when I looked previously. I assume 10w-30 would work?
