Ok, last couple of questions about felt and lubing the cam. Why the combination of grease on the cam and then oil on the felt which will be touching the cam that is smeared with grease? Is it ok to mix oil will grease?

Also per the factory manual, it says to pack a "wedge" of grease in the corner of the rubbing block (cam follower). I can only assume that by the action of the rubbing block being hit rapidly (in affect vibrating), the grease slowly works it's way forward towards the spinning cam. Do I have that correct?

Today I asked a local shop that rebuilds distributors and alternators, about replacing just the felt "arm". He said it's not available and that I could if I wanted to, just put a new piece of felt on. Though he said it's redundant since the cam would be lubed with grease.
