Sounds to me like he has a rebuilt 455 by a machine shop that did not
install the oil plug with a .040" diameter hole in the rear camshaft oil
gallery that lubes the distributor gears and shaft bearings.
Big job to fix that. Engine has to come out, flywheel has to come
off, freeze plug that covers that oil gallery needs to be pulled, gallery
plug needs to replaced with the correct one, freeze plug needs to
be replaced, flex plate needs to go back on, and engine can go back in. All
for a cheap little oil plug. Such a deal for an overlooked step.
