Those advance springs and the goofy little clip are next .to impossible to find

Here's a link to a thread with info on a backyard hack that works for the small spring in either a clipdown cap distributor or a screwdown like yours in the earlier picture.

If the big spring is bad, you're on your own

As far as the little clip, I've used an O ring in place of the clip. It's a bit tough to install but it does the same job as the clip. It may be tough but it's still easier than the clip was to install.

If you have to remove the O ring to get at the weights and springs under the advance plate at some time, you pick it out with a little dental pick type tool and replace it with a new one if it's damaged.

The O ring is the same O ring that fits a Holley fuel transfer tube between the 2 bowls.

It's an 010 O ring (USA size)

We'll put this one firmly in the backyard hack category too, but it keeps ya runnin'   

I found another O ring that goes on easier and works well but I'll have to see if I can dig up it's number

I could take a picture or 2 or give a little more info on the installation if needed.

Thanks for the info, I think I'll put it to use in a project.

Thanks that was fast Are these a good unit? dependable?
After reading the website info, I think I like that it uses the original points plate
