my new distributor

new to me anyway. it's a used distributor for a 67 beetle.
correct numbers
that vacuum can WORKS. you can apply light suction and watch the plate move with ease
here you can see where I wiped away a bit of grime. other than needing a good cleaning, it's seemingly in GREAT shape. it rotates without any sounds at all, like butter (with the old points now removed.)
ready for a few new parts and a test run!
the crazy part is that I tried to buy this from a TS member once, was sent the wrong part (original ad was since deleted, can't confirm it wasn't just missing enough details to know it would have been wrong) - so I got this one off of eBay for $10 plus shipping. it was cheaper and apparently almost brand new in condition.
the distributor cap on it was still the old school brown style with the VW stamp and part #'s on it. the contacts inside the old cap look pretty good to, im tempted to try it Vs the red knockoff one I was sent from CIP1.
