I'm in the middle of replacing the timing and balance shaft belts in a 1987 924s and have hit a snag. I can get three of the sprockets lined up with the timing marks (cylinder 1 at tdc, balance sprockets) but not the camshaft sprocket. The mark to line it up with on the rear distributor housing broke off as can be seen in the picture. What should I do? Will I just have to buy a new housing? If so, where can I find one? Thanks in advance.

Here is what you need to do if you cant find the broken peice. Measure exactally 2 inches from the bottom of the INSIDE ridge up. That is how far the timing mark is. Use a center punch to make the mark. See picture. Note, the cheapo calipers I used were off by 1/32 of an inch. Disregard that as they measure 1/32 closed. The distance on the cam assy pictured was 2". Make sure you are measuring the INSIDE RIDGE and not the outside!
