Anyone ran into an issue of oil coming up shaft and into distributor pickup area? 
I have a pertronix 3  distributor system I got from FBO systems.  Noticed oil leaking 
from drain hole in bottom of distributor. Opened the cap and there is oil below pickup. 
I spoke to FBO and he said its from excessive pressure in crankcase under load. 
The engine rebuild has less than 10k on it. I am running a pcv system from the 
valley pan.  FBO says the upper bearing is sealed and should not leak unless
its excess pressure. I'm going to try to put a guage on the oil fill tube and power brake it 
to see what I get. Just wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue.  Thanks
