I didn't press out the bushing in any of the distributor housings but it looks
like you could buy the bushing at a bearing store.
It's pretty long and narrow but it might be possible to find one.
I ended up finding a distributor in my "stock" that had minimal slop. I put
all the "guts" in it.
Thanks for all the help.
