On late units I find that the number is stamped on both sides of the arm. Some 
of the early units seem to have no number, while some of them are foolishly 
stamped in small digits only on the underside of the arm.

I need the 10 digit Bosch # to do this.

That's the old Bosch # series which I don't have any info on. The best # to 
give me would be the 10-digit Bosch #. Most of these dists have 3 numbers on 
them: Old Bosch, 10-digit Bosch, and VW (9-digit plus suffix.)
