Ah yes! I just checked on the 123 website and you're right, the dimensions are all wrong.

What exactly is wrong with your distributor? Is it completely beyond repair?

You might be able to just get a Beetle distributor off ebay and take the shaft apart to put the weights and springs from that into your existing distributor. Otherwise, this company is good for reconditioning a worn out unit:
