Might explain a little more about what you are attempting to do. If it involves much modification to the engine you would be a lot better off replacing the load-a-matic distributor with a distributor that does have both centrifugal and vacuum advance, or at least centrifugal advance. You can modify Chevy distributors to work or use an aftermarket distributors such as a Mallory.

The Bubba links are for reference only as he is currently not accepting orders. There are other sources/individuals here on the Barn that can help you with a replacement distributor if that is something you are wanting to do.
ACTUALLY I AM BACK IN THE SHOP WILL TAKE ORDERS FOR fORD FLATHEAD ONLY BUT WILL TAKE A COUPLE WEEKS ETC......
