Points wicks/felts

[shelbydoug]

Where can I get some of the fabric felt wicks that are on the points rubbing blocks? The wick that is supposed to be under the rotor at the top of the shaft also?

I stole some off of a couple of old Accell points I had but I need to find another source of new ones?

Anyone know a part number and a source for them?

I have not seen that on OEM Autolite or Motorcraft point sets. You do see them on aftermarket point sets like these for example:

True, but that doesn't answer the question now does it?

[Royce Peterson]

I think it does - they are for sale. All you need is to buy them.

...and the wick for the distributor shaft, under the rotor?

Here's one source for the oiling pad: https://www.ebay.com/itm/380936991984

There's got to be others.

[shelbydoug]

Kind of pricey for a felt plug.

[s2ms]

Yes, a bit of an elusive sucker too.

Found 2 part numbers in the 60-68, and 65-72 MPC's; FEK-12133-A and D0RY-12133-A, but doesn't look like it was ever available separately from Ford.

[shelbydoug]

Strange that such a simple part is so elusive?

"Back in the day" a set of points cost was $1.  I'm thinking the points "Felt" was never serviced.  Just grab a $1 part and put them on.

Is the felt for the distributor shaft wick under the rotor anything special? In the past I have gone to the fabric store and bought felt and cut a piece for the shaft.

[rockhouse66]

I have only seen that points felt for the cam on the Blue Streak points sets.  I think there is a little paper in the box that mentions the felt being impregnated with something and not needing any additional lube.  There is a Blue Streak grease for the points cam, called Lubri-Cam.

    I will check my NOS parts stash . I "may" still have a pair of "point felts" in a Ford package. Yes at "one time" they were serviced. Be patient and I will look.

Out of stock. Figures? $.42 each. Doesn't say if it has a Ford, Shelby or Cobra logo though?
