They are getting hard to find, even used. The rotor itself is not replaceable individually, and requires you to replace the shaft. Best 'cheap' source is eBay. There is usually one or two available. Be prepared to spend upwards of 250 dollars used for a complete distributer with wires.

There is no electrical conversion possible without extensive modifications.
