Default Distributor End Play Shims?

Where can I get a kit of shims for distributor endplay? I tried at NAPA & Schucks, but nobody had any.

Does anyone have a manufacturer/part number?

Also, what's the best way to measure endplay?

Thanks!
Dan

Summit (P/N MOR-26140) or Jegs. 4 bucks. Use a feeler gage to measure gap.

Moroso part number 26140. Any auto parts store should be able to get them for you, or you can order them through Summit or Jeg's. My local NAPA store gets me my Moroso parts, and even Checker can get them.

Moroso part # 26140. You can go to Moroso's website and see the shims. A local parts place should have these.
