 I agree with noomg: too many variables. The original distributor should be oil free if you replace the internal seal(the very early cars did NOT have a seal but could if one pressed the upper steel bushing down for a seal).
A Petronix ignition system(minus the dizzy) would make for a long reliable system; their distributor with NO seal apparently was not designed to be placed on its side.
As noomg said they're reliable; I have driven my car twice across the U.S. and twice have driven cars back from CA. to Atlanta.
