I bet you could find it on Yellowpages.com , or whowhere.com. West Coast Garage, in Santa Maria CA.

The felt pad is down inside the distributor shaft. You can see it if you pull the rotor off the shaft and look down in there with a flashlight.

A quarter-inch of up-and-down play in the distributor shaft (note that the rotor can pull off the shaft without too much effort) is not good. Having flat cam lobes on the distributor cam is not good.

Might be time for another distributor. Having another pair of eyes, ones that have 914 experience, on the problem would probably be a good way to tell how worn out things are.
