Actually, the fuel distributor is a very simple device. Many people here seem to be of the opinion that they are full of parts. That is not the case. Its a simple pressure differential operated system to meter fuel, from all ports at the same time. They are easy to disassemble and clean. Parts like the diaphram and springs are not available, at least I have not found a source. I have yet to need anything other than O rings to repair one. I have done three of them.

Anyway, I thought you might find a photo of one from a 300E interesting.
