Could someone help me find my wick? It might need lubrication! 200 1984

Hello,
I was reading my Bentley manual and as part of the maintenance program I found something I have never heard of, nor can I find refernce to elsewhere in the manual. In my manual, on page 170-2, and also 170-3 listed under engine maintenance, one item says "Inspect distributor cap and rotor, lubricate wick(1983-1985 models only)". What is a wick? Where is it located? I have a 1984, so I might have a wick that I dont know about! In which case, it almost certianly need lubricating, as I have been unaware of it's existance! What do you think happens if you don't lube your wick? Am I going to need some special wick lube? Thanks, kenneth
