I'd think Mancini would have it or eBay. I would suggest a good used dist and eBay has the new pentastar/pigtail & ballasts are easy to come by new or used. this will allow you to avoid the orange box and get another ECU of your choosing and then pick a good coil. reportedly the new Mallory based MP dists which is what you get in the kit which have the adv of the curve being externally adjustable but have an issue something wrong with the adv plate?? tho I have no first hand exp with them but many people use them with no problems and the older dists are harder to adj with the clip and the slot welding/filing required but just me I accept that & work with it. Ebay would likely have the complete kit also & might call your dealer

Where do I order a MP Electronic Ignition Kit? Summit only has the small block on their website, need a 383. Ditto for Jegs. Mopar.com only has a download for a catalog.

MP newer kits ( mallory made ) are built with rotor around 90º off, so you can either relocate the oil pump shaft reindexed to match the stock number one on cap, or if you don't care, will get a new number one cilinder position on cap.
If you want a deeper job, can make a new slot for the correct rotor location on top shaft of dist at a machine shop
about advancing plates issues... not more than the stock one, since actually is the same stock piece

too much play between the pick up plate and support plate. That makes the advance movement is not exact. Added to this the advancing plate center ( pivot point ) doesn't meet the center of reluctor, this draws a diff ratious between them imposible to correct, so pick up coil can even bite the reluctor.
hard to adjust all the play around with all the free pieces related.
( dunno if you understand what I posted, dunno how to explain it better in english )
You can try to adjust the gap to .008" but on advance position can get maybe up to .005" and when returning maybe get .010", then at next advance get .007... whatever can happen...
Its an original "design fail".
Now dunno if FACTORY pieces where so baddly made or built or not.

Nacho Your grammer makes perfect sense. Yeah now remember you were saying about the pivot pin slop and the off center radius messing up the gap with the vac adv in use

Even with the diff ratious between pickup plate and reluctor imposible to solve and what allways will give you a diff gap between both positions, with a tight advancing plate assembly, maybe more spring tension on pivot retainer and who knows whatever more, the gap variation could be WAY less critical, being not more than maybe +/- .002" max. Something easy to live if you adjust .009 in rest giving you maybe .007 advanced. ( something I tried hard untill make it, or thinking I did it LOL, without know what really is happening once car is running LOL )
This includes the diaphram rod stud and hole on plate... EVERY RELATED PART.

I remember when you bent the magnet support and or base & got the gap change down to almost nothing but that was with a regular non Mallory dist. EDIT You mentioned not knowing what it is doing in operation, I have a hand held Craftsman vac pump with a gauge & it's the cats ass for working with dists & one of the few Craftsman tools I have faith in. I would not work on a dist without it

actually I did it on both dist... stock and MP ( mallory ) units. both are EXACTLY the same dist... what only changes is the shaft just due the mechanical advance system, thats all! but housing, vac adv plate, pickup coil, reluctor and vacuum itself are ( fortunatelly, or not ) all the same pieces
