ADQ: According to the 1973 assembly manual, the distributor ASM pn# 1112098 (L-48 MT) was installed as an assembly. This was done by the engine assembly plant. Therefore my manual does not break down the individual parts by PN# within the distributor such as vacuum advance. What reference(s) is best to have for more specific PN#'s for this? Tks.

There are not that many parts in the distributor. Here they are for the GM #1112098 distributor:

washer (plastic)----GM #1951099
lubricator----GM #1852935

weight base button (nylon)----GM #1957329

The problem is that most of the above information is fairly academic. Virtually all of the above parts are long-since discontinued. The exceptions are tune up parts (cap, rotor, points, condensor) and the distributor drive gear. All other parts are gone. A few of the others may be available in the aftermarket.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -
