It's unlikely you'll find anything aftermarket and the only one available from GM is the plastic 307 tab. Wrecking yard is your only option. Note that any 68-up Olds motor is a suitable donor.

depends what you are doing with your engine. In my case non-vacum setting is 24 degrees and the vacuum settin is 32 degrees, I am using the plastic tab that goes to 20 degrees and fabricating a new tab.
