420 Distributor
I had the same problem as you and found a rebuilt dist. at Restoration Supply Tractor Parts at www.tractorpart.com. I purchased one from them and it was completely rebuilt with bushings, points, cond., cap. Good service and good product. They also buy rebuild cores. Hope this helps.
