Rubber belting is a good isolator. It is supposed to be about 1/4" to 5/16", be sure the steering shaft clears the hole in the rad.. That is the most important consideration. The horizontal sise is not critical just make sure it is covering the contact areas and a little more.

The oil in the points area is probably normal. THere is a felt wick that has point grease on it to lube the cam. Wipe it off and go on with life. THe distributor should be lubes twice a year by putting a zerk in the 1/8" pipe plug in the side of the distributor casting. If it has not been done, it needs it. Over greasing is possible, so are worn out bearings from no lube. I have seen both. The only way to find out is to pull the housing and look in the cavity, It is kinda wierd because there seems to be poor control of grease inside the housing, I lube them and pack extra grease in the housing to touch the shaft and forget it for the next fifty years.

Good luck it will serve you well. JimN
