<VV> Distributor initial settings on a 140

[steven at sashimi.org]

OK, I had looked at the dist. earlier and I didn't see a number.  Where
exactly is it stamped?  BTW, it's got a Pertroics in it that LC installed. 
He was very accomodating and sent me copies of the old service invoices,
for which I'm very grateful, but I wasn't able to determine this info from
those records.

The distributor has its own code number you can look up in the Tech  
Guide.
