You might try posting in the Y block forum. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum56/
If you are looking for that exact distributor somebody might have one. What is wrong with the one you have? There are company's that rebuild them and then there is this guy who makes new electronic ones for Y blocks.

Welcome to FTE
Need to point out, beware, there are some "counterfeit" distributors in the remann system. The Y-block cores dried up, so the rebuilders for a while were using 302 distributors or whatever. The dimensions are "close" tho not correct, that is, the distance from the mounting flange to the bottom of the distributor gear is too short by 1/4" or so. It will work, but it will get chewed up. Normally the distributor gear is located accurately, within .005", it uses the machined mounting pad in the block itself as a thrust surface. If you keep a sharp eye on eBay, every once in a while a NOS or service replacement distributor will turn up. Most any used distributor by now is worn out, they won't work very well.
