Just get a rebuilt unit from the local store. It's no different than a alternator or starter, unless you do want a performance model, which do cost a little money. The performance models are more adjustable than the factory unit though.

I was very happy with a Malloy Unilite distributor. Easy to set up, and had adjustable mechanical advance curve along with the vacuum advance.
