Default Squeaking distributor?

Sometimes when I first start the truck, I hear a squeaking. I have narrowed it down to the back top (middle) of the engine. put my hand on the distributor and could feel it in that. Is it going bad? I assume so.

I was looking at some on rock auto.. they are expensive, Is there a good cheaper brand that I can get?

my dads blazer does it. Been doing it for 2 years. It'll shut up sometimes,but mainly does it cold. I remember seeing a write up on it somewhere about it being a brass bushing in the dis. Not sure where it is now.


Get the cheapest,then swap over your icm. Thats the only thing id be worried about is the cheap icm.
