First we have to find out which breather you have. There were 3.

1) Early, 61-67, had single plastic cap on top and draft tube hanging down with 
small hole in the side of the tube just above the open bottom end.

2) Middle, 68-71, as above but with no hole in the side of the lower tube.

3) Late, 72-3, with 2 plastic plugs in the top.

Which do you have?

That dist number does not appear in my Bosch book, but it looks like it should 
take Bosch points # 1 237 013 015 (short # 10 009.) I would not expect them to 
be hard to find; they are used on just about every VW 64-67. I might even have 
a pair; if so, I'd be happy to sell them.

If you are not going to be using the stock carbs, you should not even consider 
trying to use a vac adv distributor. The vacuum put out by every different 
model of carb is different, so a vac adv has to be matched to THAT particular 
carb. Your best bet would be to use an early FI dist, and just ignore the vac 
advance on it. You can find these cheap at swap meets, but they will usually 
need to be rebuilt. Or you can buy one from me already rebuilt.
