If YearOne and Classic Industries (site sponsors) doesn't have what you want, Jegs and Summit would.

Is it electronic ? probably easier just to get a new distributor, stock ones are pretty cheap.

On Moparal's advice I just went to my local jobber and bought a rebuild, works great 5 years now.

That's what I was thinking...NAPA probably has re-mans for $50  :dunno:
