You could check the Smithsonian Institute or the Wally Parks museum

Wow that has to be a 30 year old set up.

I believe it takes the same cap and rotor as an original big block factory dual point distributor - a prestolite unit. Standard AL153 for the rotor, Standard AL140 for the cap.

Got one here too.

IIRC, the rotor is a "D" shape and not a "notch"

Maybe Accel or Mallory sell a replacement???

We have been using the Mopar tach drive unit for over 30 years.Accel 8330 is the correct part number,and is also the correct part for 440 dual point cast iron units.Both were made by Prestolite.

Check out the above link. I see the rotor but I can't tell if the listed cap has the "notch" you need.
I have one of those antiques in cast iron and it works great.

I used to run that dizzy. Went to a reputable auto supply for cap & button. Told them it was for a Prestolite. They had them on the shelf. Perfect fit.

340 dual point cap and rotor also fit.

Get the Accel cap - it has brass terminals.

The cheaper one's also have no vent hole that can cause ionisation and arcing...
