After exhausting almost all my resources I can't find a good source for replacement bearings
There is a gentleman named Dieter Gerloff in Germany who has some modified 7201 bearings and will sell them for 58 euros each + shipping. Not cheap but it's better than nothing.

He also did a very nice write-up on the distributor rebuild which can be found here: http://www.hd-electronics.nl/Hobby/r...rdeler_993.pdf
I still have my feelers out, so if I run across something better I will post it here.
Here is a simple solution if you cannot find a bearing to fit the distributor , make the distributor fit the bearing . This solution was used and no problems for last 30k miles .
Took ball brg NSK 6201-08DDU, but there are SKF/NTN/*** equivalents.
Basically a double rubber sealed 6201 ball brg.
These brgs are the same dimensionally except for the ID wich is 0.5mm dia. larger.
Prepare the brgs in advance by wrapping 0.25mm thick shim stock of appropriate x-y dimension around the shaft, and apply a bit of retaining compound to the ID of the brg so that the shim/sleeve is glued to the ID of the brg.
You will need a blind brg removal tool to remove the olds brgs.
I think the brgs were around $15 ea.
....take only angular contact bearing 7201 with ID 12,45 mm (INA or ***) + NX12 + CT 1032 and your dizzy is fit for the next 8years/ 60Tms - ask me for parts !
Dieter is the man... He's the only person I've found to reliable stock the proper INA oem style angular contact bearing for our distributors. I ordered 3 sets for myself and two friends here in Houston.

I trust he is, in fact, the man. I just wanted some clarity on the hieroglyphics in his response (NX12, CT 1032).

The angular contact bearings are INA 7201 B-2RS, the oiled ball bearing at the bottom of the shaft is INA NX12-Z, and the belt is Continental CT-1032. So I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.
