Glenn, I bought a '68 VW distributor (113 905 205M) at a swap meet last weekend. It was in better shape than the one with the detached ground wire. VW must have added that ground wire when they went with the one piece points setup. From the looks of the 010 on your website, the two piece points setup was grounded directly to the side of the distributor. I've taken the distributor apart; the vacuum distributor is much less complicated than the 010. There are only two fiber washers; one of which is broken. Where can I buy these fiber washers and the Bosch grease?
