I have received the 912/356 distributor rebuild kit from Stoddards. It has a new Phenolic washer in the kit. there are also several shim washer that I will use to reduce shaft end play... IF I knew what the spec was... ANYONE???

Parts in red rectangle are unknown to me from taking 2 SC distributors apart. Parts in green rectangle are the same as parts on my distributors. Red circle is my broken washer; green circle is the replacement:



So good news for me I might just order a few more of these kits for spares. Usable parts:
  • 1 Phenolic washer
  • 1x 0.07mm shim washer
  • 2x 0.09mm shim washers
  • 3x 0.19mm shim washers
  • 3x 0.28mm shim washers
  • 2 'E' clips (clip the weights on the weight shafts)
  • 2 replacement felts
The shim washers are the same as:
  • the small washer at the end of the shaft between the gear and phenolic washer
  • the small washer above the phenolic washer as the shaft enters the distributor cup
KTL:

Measuring the new washer and comparing on the link you posted I would be happy to go with a 1/2" Low-Friction and Chemical-Resistant UHMW Polyethylene ID - 0.515" OD - 0.885". The ID of the new washer is 0.505" and the OD is 0.808". the only concern is the thickness being ~0.02"+ greater. New washer is 0.030" thick. It could be entirely possible to fit one of these with different shims and get a perfectly workable solution.

Best regards,

Michael
