passenger side behind the seat?  It connects to the engine with a long
clear
plastic tube?  If so, they should be readily available at junk yards.
Or
write to people who appear to be parting out an L Jetronic spider to see
if
they have that.  It is such an inconsequential appearing part, that they
do
not seem to show up on eBay.
       I have considered installing a normal distributor on my 84 spider
race
car.  The purpose is to be able to adjust total ignition advance and to
get a
quicker advance curve.  Set up correctly, it should wake up the
performance
slightly.

Hit me off Digest, I just pulled the L-jet from my 88 Spider and I
should have the parts you need in my spare parts box.
