Garrett,
All of the 230 PW distributors are interchangeable. The caps, rotors, and points will be different between types. The IAY portion of the Prestolite part number is what you are looking for if you want exactly the same kind. Vintage Power Wagons carries them, or you can search on the web and find them. They are also used in some marine, industrial, and tractor applications. You can down load the Pertronix catalog and search on IAY to find some of the other applications. The PIF file here on the forum is a good way to see which ones use the same cap and rotor. Another possibility is to do a Google search on the Dodge or Pertronix numbers. I found a Marine equivalent that way and the parts were very cheap from a Marine supplier up in the Northwest.
