Looking for a distributor 1969 351w

While out for a drive she died! A quick check showed no spark! Thanks to roadside assistance she was towed home. Popped the cap and noticed the points were closed…easy fix… Wrong! The PO had stripped the contact end screw and to compensate added what looks to be epoxy under the point set! Worked for a long time… but, now I am looking for a stock distrib for my 1969 XR7 351w 2v with an FMX. Any body have a good one laying around they want to sell? Thanks!

If date codes and total originality aren’t a concern, rebuilt distributors are available at Rock Auto or your local parts store.
I have noticed that '69 351W distributors are unique. '70 and up are taller. So if maintaining originality is a prime concern and you can’t score one from a fellow enthusiast, John’s, WCCC, or one of the other specialty suppliers will likely be your best bet.
