Distributor part number?

I'm trying to replace the distributor on my L98. The only AC Delco part number I can find is 19179575. This is for a remanufactured unit. However, per the reviews on amazon, the ignition control module is not replaced during the rebuild. This has given some people issues. Does anyone have a part number for a new distributor or a more throughly rebuilt one?

Has anyone used Performance Distributors before?

This looks good. But, looks can be deceiving.

Can't usually go to wrong with MSD. The TPI and TBI use the same distributor.

Normally. It's worth noting that some TBI applications use a unique distributor. The easiest way to spot the goofy TBI distributor is the flange for the clamp is visibly thicker. Overall it's shorter in height. Of course the part number on the body is different too. I want to say the application was B-body cars in the early 90's. Just be aware they're out there, and avoid them.
