Cam break-in lube for cam gear on new distributor?
Hey all going to install a new dizzy on my 88 tbi. On the instructions with the new part it says "apply a liberal amount of cam break-in lube on the cam gear of new distributor. Failure to do so will result in premature wear of the distributor gear against a roller camshaft."
What cam break-in lube should i use with my new distributor?
Thanks all!
Edit: would Comp Cams 152 lube work?

any moly lube you find in an auto parts store will work fine
honestly once that dist starts spinning its drenched in an oil bath.
Turning mine over by hand adusting lash gets it soaked.
