Default distributor bottom thrust plate?

I am checking the what seems to be original distributor in my 327. There are no spacers or thrust plate between the bottom gear and housing fitted, does not seem normal. The more that the shaft/gear assembly can now move about 0.06 inch up/down. Anyone know where to get these (I do not mean the spacers between the intake manifold and the distributor)

Most of the Corvette parts suppliers will have the shim you need. Zip has it under part number M-2351.

Hope that helps,

Steve

An end play of .005" -.010" is desirable
