I would try Dave Renner, (734) 428-8424, Bert's (303) 293-3673, The Early Ford Store, (909) 305-1955 and CW Moss (714) 639-3083. Start calling around. This part was never reproduced but if you talk to the suppliers they may have one under the counter. Also try EBAY and a wanted ad here. You should put your general location in your profile, that might shake something loose. Of course you could use a Fumaze, at least you would be era correct. While we are at it, anything else you need? Good luck.

Stipe IS retired !
If you can find one of his custom alum B caps, it will most likely will be attached to his custom stainless B filler tube.

The last I heard:

The Stipe business is not closed ... The family is still there running the business.

Thanks Benson , I believe that the business is still in operation . I fairly recently bought a couple more of their accurate distributor cams with extra dwell . Many of us know that Bill has retired . It would be a travesty for people to think that Stipe machine was out of business !!!!!!!

OP simply asked for B filler cap source.

Charlie gave excellent detailed info which directly answered OP question !

Travesty would be sending OP on a snipe hunt, with bad info.
Stipe is retired and never sold B caps , without them being attached to a B tube.

No one mentioned/brought up closed business, until you !
And, by injecting that the ‘business’ is still operating, you are inferring that B caps are still for sale also not true and a travesty.
