Default HEI shaft seal question

OK guys, where can I get a new upper shaft seal for an HEI distributor. This is the clear plastic washer with a felt washer attached to it that sits under the "cup" that holds the pickup coil. This one is heat damaged. I opened up a spare HEI and that seal was brittle and cracked when I removed it. My first stop was GM and their computer said this part is discontinued and I did not have any luck at Autozone across the street.

Any suggestions or Part numbers would be appreciated.

Thanks Jack.

From the NCRS site I received the following info too:

The felt is also available from NAPA under Echlin #DP-110

The plastic seal is GM #1950569, supposedly still available.

And a great link for ignition parts:
