I've been looking at replacements, but all I see are rebuilt/remanufactured/new units from brands I either don't recognize or don't trust. So much of everything else are HEI setups, and for now I don't want to rewire for HEI even though I already have an HEI dist on hand. I mean, if I continue on with the HEI I have, I could find high quality module and coil to swap around instead of whatever gets supplied with a $50 dist. But for now I think it better to just stick around with Duraspark. I did find these options on eBay...

This one would need to be cleaned up and given new reluctor, magnetic pickup, rotor and cap, but should be nice and dandy (especially if I could find a new blue cap). But not sure how to replace the gasket to prevent oil from leaking (which I think may have been happening with the original dist).

This looks to be a direct fit swap in my price range, but also runs along the lines of my issue with what I found at RockAuto/Jegs/Summit wherein the brand is either unfamiliar or not trusted.
