You should stick with an AT distributor for your AT car. I can trade you in the 
course of a rebuild if that helps.

I replace the fiber washers if the OE ones have broken, otherwise just use 
the originals. Keep the OE springs, or you have to redo the advance curve, 
which requires a distributor machine. I put a bit of grease on the springs to 
prevent rust, which could cause small changes in the spring constant.
