Default Distributor Squeak?

So my 1990 Acura Integra has a bad squeak and it seems to be coming from the distributor. It is a B18B engine. I took the distributor cap off and it is covered with red dust on the inside. Not really sure what to do.

I've never heard of a distributor squeaking before... the dust is normal.

Can you describe the noise with more detail?

Only at idle?
goes up and down with rpm?
Constant or intermittent?

Yes just get a new dizzy. From what i hear, its a pain to find seals and all parts for distributors. Easier just to pick one up from scrapper or importers.

Hell its 1990 as you said, so obd0? i got one laying around. LMK if you want it.
