Default MSD Experts - Assistance Needed

Product = MSD Pontiac Pro Billet Distributor #8563

I disassembled this unit in the Spring with the intention of coating the internals to protect them from corrosion.

Well, I need help with re-assembly. My memory fails me.

I have most items sorted through, however, it's the placement of the smaller, silver washers in the grouping of two that I need help with.

Where do those go? And the sealed bearing? Does that go to the top of the shaft?

Sealed bearing goes on the upper part of the shaft, not next to the gear.

The flat washers that fit over the shaft set the shaft clearance up and down movement.
