       Are you talking about the vacuum sensor that bolts high on the 
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.
       I have no personal experience with the RML kit.  So we need you to 
relate any gains you think you have.  I doubt you are going to gain more than 
a couple of horses.
