Default Tack Drive Distributor?

I just purchased a SBC Grant Spalding tack drive Flamethrower distributor. It is missing the drive shaft/gear that goes inside adapter where the cable screws onto. Sure looks like Grant/Spalding used GM Corvette distributor parts, where can a guy buy a drive gear shaft? Anyone have a good pic of what I am looking for? The proper name would also help! Thanks, Lon

My Sept catalog from Volunteer Vette Products lists the cross gear shaft for 29.50. The cross shaft gear coupling is $28.00
