Default Squeaky squeak squeak

Guys, I have a squeak problem that just started. I checked all the pulleys and replaced tensioner and idler, along with alternator. As I was listening with my sound rod, the squeak was coming from the distributor. Can this be? Will a distributor squeak? And if so can it be fixed without replacement of the distributor?

Take the belt off and see if you still hear the squeak. I really don't think a distributor can squeak.

Just to add the obvious don't let the truck running without a belt for too long.

I took the belt off and ran and didn't here any squeak. I also didn't here anything manually turning the pulleys. I'm stumped!!! Guess. It's time to take it to the shop!
