I swear I had one but couldn't find it.
Is this what you need:

That is a single point plate that you have pictured. It is not the same. I have probably a dozen of those.  The dual point has a ball bearing built into it but is the same size since it fits into the same aluminum distributor housing.

There are other differences that eliminate the possibility to use the single point plate in place of the dual point as well.

In addition, the Ford mechanical only advance dual point plate is different again since it has no provision for the vacuum advance.

These plates were all serviced individually by Ford. Most service parts will be of Motorcraft origin but are functionally the same if not identical to the originals but those are now an obsolete part

They're out there in peoples junk piles out in the garage in distributors only good for parts. Artifacts of the early '70s.

If they are being serviced aftermarket I'd love to find the source. It's like a $30 part.
