NAPA should be able to get one for you.

Easy to replace, the only hard part is dealing with the clip that attaches the rod to the points plate--Just be patient and have some small needle nosed pliers available.

Basically disconnect the vacuum line, remove the distributor cap, the afore mentioned clip, and the 2 screws visible on the outside of the distributor. Reverse process and you're done.

Buy a Crane one, they are also adjustable!

I agree, the Crane diaphrams are not only adjustable, but they aren't that much more than a stocker and come with great instructions.

Pretty much all ford solenoids are adjustable. Just put a small
(7/32 I think) allen wrench down the snout.
