As I read in my 1962 Factory Service manual, in the ENGINE section, under "DISTRIBUTOR DRIVE SHAFT BUSHINGS".  It says as follows:

__________________________________________________________

"INSTALLATION OF DISTRIBUTOR DRIVE SHAFT BUSHINGS"

(1) Slide a new bushing over the burnishing end of Tool C-3053 and insert the tool bushing into the bore, as shown in Figure 35.

(2) Drive the bushing and tool into position, using a soft hammer.

(3) As the burnisher is pulled through the bushing by tightening the puller nut, the bushing is expanded tight in the block and burnished to the correct size, as shown in figure 36.  DO NOT REAM THIS BUSHING.

As for where to get this C-3053 tool, I haven't a clue.  Perhaps Warren Anderson can tell us as he indicates that he burnishes them when he replaces them.

Bob,

I have done this also, but I never burnished the bearing since I don't have 
a burnishing tool.  What did you use to burnish the bearing, and is there 
any down side to not doing the burnishing?

I pull the
distributor, and check for excessive side play in the
shaft and pull it out and see if the shaft shows wear
just below the gear and if so, replace the shaft at
the same time the bushing is replaced and burnished.
