This was a very helpful video. A few things that would make it even more useful, either as VoiceOver or text: 1. What makes a good donor candidate for rebuild? 2. What parts could be easily forgotten or oriented incorrectly? 3. What is being looked at and / or measured to determine if parts can be reused or need to be replaced? Thanks.
Dennis, The most complete one that you can find. The one eBay auction you sent me was fine. All of these distributors are 50 plus years old now considering that the last model they were installed into was a 1971. All of them are going need to work and just so long as all the parts are there to begin with they are fairly easy to rebuild. Thanks Kurt
Rob, Yes I have been working on these cars for over thirty years now. I have lost count how many engines that I have built and how many of those engines that have been track engines. Thanks for watching
@@klassikats Thanks for answering. I have one more question. When I tried to remove the washer(ring) that holds done the lubricating felts, one of the little tags that hold it down in place immediately broke off. I stopped right there and did not go further. If I continue and all the little tags break off, how do you keep the washer (ring) in place after the re-build?
@@TomHierl, this is an Inox brand MX8 grease. I can only see it in spray-on Amazon now, amzn.to/4fgmtDm which may not be the best choice anymore. An alternative is Valvoline high-temperature grease, which I just tagged to the video. Here's a link, amzn.to/3Z2uQgo Thanks for watching, S

The big Porsche parts house in Huntington beach says distributor caps ,rotors are no longer available? You probably have a source out of the country.
You can buy them at Partsklassik
