Wax also works well. Also, make sure the pilot bushing is actually brass and not brass colored/plated steel.

Negative, Make sure it's an Oilite bushing. And do NOT grease it other than a <span style="text-decoration: underline">very</span> light coat on the input shaft. Too much grease will fill up the pores in the bushing and prevent the oil from doing it's job.

If it doesn't say Oilite on the packaging you can leave it sit on a paper towel for a while and look for a dark ring where the oil wicked out.

The GM bushings <span style="text-decoration: underline">were</span> Oilite. Several suppliers have them. I'd try NAPA first.
