Guest oldodgeboys Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 A while back I was reading that Vaseline was the original recommended lube for the DB-4 NE 12v distributor cap and rotor.What is a good lube to use for this purpose today?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Gus, if you mean between the rotor and cap I got a small tube of dielectric grease from my local auto parts store. I'm sure Vaseline would still work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 silicon dielectric. Put some on the plug wire ends too for easier removal later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platt-deutsch Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I think some lube on the distrubutor cam would be good but I dont think the button on the rotor should be lubed as it is graphite and should be self lubing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I agree with lubing the cam. But I had a cap that developed a carbon track and an odd misfire which a pencil eraser took care of. So now the button gets lubed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teppy Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Just recently installed a distributor cap that I purchased from autopartswarehouse. I only used distributor grease such as Borg Warner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
