Good morning everyone.
What is this plug/screw for? Should I add oil before installing?
I took it out and cannot figure out what it is for. Doesn't look like it does anything.
Thanks for any advice or knowledge.

Parts breakdown for the C-123 engine lists this item as a plug.

I surmise it should be removed periodically to lubricate the bushing in bottom of distributor housing with oil ??

Thanks cyrush. I reckon I probably need to put some oil in it.

On our 350 Utility, my dad would periodically remove that plug and screw a grease fitting in there to grease the distributor. I don't know if that's what the manual called for or if that's just what he and my grandpa used to do.
