Pilot bushing?
I ordered what I thought was a BRONZE oilite busing from Summit. It's from Mcleod. Part #8-1380-1.
This is Magnetic(steel?), oilite. Is this type OK to use? Thanks, Dave |

Real Oilite bronze is NOT magnetic. I would not use any magnetic pilot bushing on any of my cars. True bronze is not magnetic. Magnetic means there is iron or steel in it.

Look up Autogear in Syracuse, NY. They make a true oilite bushing. I bought originally a “oilite” bushing too but it was magnetic, wasn’t going to put a magnetic bushing in.

Oilite SAE 841 is the only one I would use.
Chebby part (with diameter reduced to fit into Pontiac Steel Crankshaft. (NOT OEM), modified. Last one was changed years ago. Been Babying the car last few years. TV
