Default '82 Distributor rebuild questions

Funny chattering sound coming from the area of the stock HEI distributor when cold. Goes away when engine is warm.

116,000 miles. Cannot find rebuilt distibutor or rebuild parts. Are there bushings in there that can be replaced? Source?

THanks for any help!

Thanks, just what I needed!

Silly me, I was looking in all the Corvette vendors . . sometimes back to basics works best!
