any plastic parts?

Does anybody know if there are any plastic parts in my distributor like under the pickup coil i'm guessing? Heres a exploded view of one almost the same as my l98 engine has:

The only thing I can think of is that the pickup coil has a plastic cover on it, the moduel is bakelite...

Other than that I'm pretty sure everything else is some type of metal.

There is one plastic piece I can think of under there...

It doesn't show on that drawing, becasue as far as GM is concerned, it's part of the housing. It's a sort of seal, to keep crankcase vapors from getting into the dist around the shaft. It looks alot like the rubber seals you see on "sealed" bearings. IIRC there's some felt or something underneath it.
