Assuming that this is the little washer in the mech advance, I replace them with nylon washers. They are there to keep the parts moving smoothly. Steel would be more likely to rust. If the 67 dist is vac adv only, then you mean the big fiber washer, and i don't have any source for those. I think they soak up a bit of oil and keep things from wearing against each other. > What type of grease should be used to reassemble. I don't want it > to gum up like it was. Almost anything will work. It took your old grease a couple of decades to gum up. I use something with moly disulfide in it where there is sliding friction. Remember that the mech advance dists need a drop of oil on the felt washer in the top of the dist shaft every so often. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
