Basically, set up a Photo Bucket account. Import your pictures into said account. Copy the picture's location. Click on the yellow icon with the mountain above^^, and paste the location into the pop-up window. It's quite easy after a few tries.

As I don't see any lobes on that distributor, I think you were quite accurate.

Yeah, the broken part is the internal lever for the turn signal switch. I don't believe it's replaceable separately. You'll probably have to replace the entire switch assembly. Here's a close-up pic from an eBay auction.

I see, it's upside down. I have a 56 column from a custom cab with the internal turn signal switch that is available if you are interested.
Have you checked to see if Mid Fifty can help you?
If not I may be able to build you a new piece using mine as a pattern reference.

Yes, I am investigating the welding option. It looks like the eBay replacement part is flat- mine had an upward bend before the break. I reckon I will have the part welded and flattened out.
Thanks for the reply. I did not know how to describe the part.
ACracer, I will keep you posted. I am visiting the welding shop tomorrow.

Man do I feel stupid. It's been a couple of years since I pulled my column and it looked like the points were broken. Oh, well, it gave me my best laugh today!
