The 91A-12179 Cam Washer/Retainer is missing from my 8N front mount distributor. Has anyone had any luck finding this part?
 
Sparky_Stuff,You might try a good hardware or a nut and bolt store, C clip assortment for one that will fit your shaft.

Number #24 91A12179 WASHER Retainer, Cam
clip
 

I seen brand new distributors with a cap on amazon today for $8X.00 that's haft price of what I get for a good used original if there is such a animal... Maybe not I have never seen a good front mount dist... :(

Part # 9n12100
 
It is about 70 years old, but looks to be stainless with ID=0.440, OD=0.750, thickness=0.030 inch.
 
Den, the on-line parts catalog omits identifying the "round-section wire snap ring" next to the 91A12179 washer, it's part # is/was 91A12177.

Didn't see any sources for either, would think they were used in the distributors of Ford cars and trucks of that era, maybe some outfits specializing in those parts would have them???
 

Sorry for the confusion. Looks like have the wrong part number. I'm looking for the curved washer not the clip. The Ford/New Holland parts catalog Fig 11D1 shows the part but doesn't list a part number. The illustration at the link below labels it "12174" so maybe I'm looking for 91A-12174?

I tried to include a link to the external_link page with the illustration but the forum screwed up the link.

More clarification ... It's the rectangular, curved washer on the side of the distributor.

Part number 12174 isn't a washer. It's the index tab for setting the timing. It's shown w/ a p/n in the MPC, but it is not listed as a separate part because it was considered a component of 59A 12182-A, screw and lock washer assembly. These guys should be able to help you w/ used parts:
