High quality distributor weights?

[G B.]

I've finally exhausted my personal supply of used distributor mechanical advance weights.

Can anyone recommend a source for good aftermarket replacements? Apparently GM no longer sells any weights for pre-HEI distributors.

I've tried the hot rod type generic weights and found them to be a very poor fit. They usually have enough meat to whittle down to one of the stock shapes, but I'd rather find a bulk source that will sell me weights I can use without modification.

I can't tell you where to find replacement distributor weights, but I can confirm that all of the GM weights are discontinued. GM no longer manufactures ANY parts for pre-75 point-type distributors. However, the still SELL rotors, caps, points, and some vacuum controls. These parts are, basically, aftermarket parts in Delco boxes.
