Accidentally hit the teflon bushing with a wire wheel while cleaning it. Still useable? I'll probably get a MSD distributor, but I want to keep all the original #s parts.
It is a fully functional distributor.

Yes, just smooth off the frayed edges.

I like to put a safety wire through roll pin. Pulled distributor after sitting all winter to crank up oil pressure. The roll pin was an 1/8" out of hole.

Won't hurt a thing and nobody will ever see it. I'd run that distributor in a heartbeat
