Moroso made one.  Most people don't run one, are you having a problem with excessive water in the distributor?

no problems but would like to avoid them.  The Mag on the old motor had one and i thought it was a good idea

I think I have a few laying around, I'll check tonight when I get home and you can pick one up in Gardena if you want.

Not really an issue.  I'm running a Pertronix Flamethrower III that is always getting wet, and haven't had a problem.
