Locating a Distributor washer
The distributor takes a washer in between it and the intake correct? The distributor on the '89 305 I've been working on spins when the bolt is tightened. Im thinking i need this washer. Where can I find one, locally?

Well, not so much a washer as a gasket. I seem to have oodles of them. Any of your local parts stores should carry the distributor gasket.

3/8-16 thread... I like using a stud in the hole and a nut to tighten it up, myself.

Stud with a nut on my engine also. Make sure the hold down clamp is sitting properly on the distributor.
