I just looked at a distributor,
About an inch from the bottom.
Where they have always been on all vw/bosch  distributors since about 1951
or something.

Subject: Distributor O Ring

Can someone please enlighten me as to where the rubber O ring goes on the
distributor? I have looked in Bentley (for my Vanagon) and Haynes (for my
Super Beetle) and from the drawings in both, I can't figure out exactly
where it goes on the distributor-FWIW, neither my Vanagon nor my Super
Beetle distibutors had this O ring-otherwise I may have figured it out!
Thanks,  Jeff
