The 'Toad runs but needs to get dizzy 140-160

Finally got the engine in & running. The solder test of the "squish" area came up with .050 to.054 so I have plenty of room for even "race rpm". It runs good but now needs a dist. rebuild so I can get all the advance I need. Anybody know of some place that can get things like the advance weights & pins that they attach to or failing that someone who can rebuild [properly] a Djet dist.?
As an aside getting the wrong o rings in the injector holders gives a massive vacuum leak, turns the exhaust header cherry red in nothing flat, & makes for a real noisy time with an open exhaust[always have to forget something don't you?]. Sometimes it IS about size!
