I know two guys that do vacuum advances....One guy is in Forney, Texas....I can't locate his info at the moment.
The second is.. http://crossramconnection.com/distrest.html
Owners name is Brian and you will have to call but he does have correct vacuum advances
I bought my B engine reman dist with adjustable vac advance from Orileys. I would figure they could get the advance can, them or napa.
Just about forgot but there is a member HALIFAXSHOPS that sells rebuilt distributors in the for sale section on here.
You may be able to buy one from him.

Be very careful buying these NOS...I have seen many dry rotted...or very stiff and terrible to adjust...
Good advice.

Ask me how I know lol.....
Some have tried using acetone to soften with mixed results...The guy Brian above hunts through hundreds to find viable ones and also welds the arms to a viable unit to work for a BB distributor...The other guy rebuilds them....
Now I'm thinking about the 2 Hemi vacuum chambers sitting in my garage. Didn't pay a lot but need one for my Satellite.

you never know how good or bad old rubber is. I have the original fuel pump off my '69 r/t and it still works! I don't have any original vacuum advance units that still work.
I have some and a few nos left, depending if the arm goes inward or straight. The straight ones are getting really hard to find for some reason.

Any luck on this ? I just found my can dead on my 383. Points distributor with pertronix ignitor 2... i pulled the can and searched for hours with no luck. Nothing looked the same. Luckily, or so I thought, mine had a factory part number on it and I took it into Napa. Thumbed through their books and found a match, part number crossed to a vc3033. Special order, part came in and the arm does not match ! I don't know what else to do other than order a new distributor....... this sucks for sure

Maybe this one? not mine. Mopar vacuum chambers in ebay but as said earlier bad rubber. I'd ask seller to test it before purchase.

Thanks, but that's identical to the one I got from napa ! The pin that goes into the breaker plate is slightly off

pretty sure points use the straight arm and electronic the offset.
That's for a CW rotation like a LA.
Have you tried AMS obsolete? They have saved me a few times, but be prepared mopar NO$
