Car quest has them, as does Rock Auto on the web. It is important to have your distributor number when ordering parts as thee were several variations of dizzys used, and thee are several differences among them including points location on the braker plate, depth of dizzy cap and rotor height and shape.

depending on what you need...you can try tom langdon's stovebolt. vintage powerwagons, rustyhope for upgrades on your intake and exhaust manifolds. Andy Bernbaum for mostly anything else you might need. he seems to be a bit short and maybe sometimes rude over the phone, but always has what I need!

Tune up parts should still be available at any good parts store with a good partsman. I got mine for my 46 Fargo all from on hand stock. For the points you need the number from the side of the distributor.

These are not hard to find rare parts...yet. Just need a good partsman who knows how to use a paper partsbook.

frequently partsbooks especially NAPA only goes back to 1950- or so. you can usually use a '50 part just as well.

Also Rock Auto, I have been using them on a lot of my orders. They are priced good and are very fast with shipping.

He is know for his lack of manners and poor customer service. I woud recommend a look at Roberts on line catalog before you deal with Andy. If he sends you the wrong stuff, he will accuse you of not knowing what you ordered ad give you a hard time or out right refusal to return or exchange. this has been documented by a number of folks here.

On the other hand several folks have had nothing but good transactions. Just remember Caveat Emptor. You can also deal with Vintage Power Wagons.

And record every part number you get. The next time into the store that catalog and/or the person who knows how to read it may not be there. With the after market part number you can still get what you need.

Example: They aren't going to have a point set for 1933 Plymouth PD in their paper catalog. And they probably won't even have a cross from the original Delco-Remy number (1842058). But they may will have a AC Delco D111, a Filco 52-35A, CarQuest EC DR-227P or NAPA ECH CS63A. And if they don't have it in stock, they can probably have it in house from the local warehouse the same day if you call ahead.

Caveat Emptor

Ah yes know this well with shady vw parts whores. search forever find what you need ad says nos dude sends you something less than pictured in a zip lock bag. See him at a show try to disscuse it get kicked out of show and then your the bag guy because you trusted someone.
