where to find correct distributor 86 c10 with esc and vacuum

I'm messing with my recently acquired non-running 1986 C10 silverado 305. I have no spark, but i do have power at the BATT terminal on the distributor. I was going to replace the whole distributor assembly, but i'm having trouble finding the right one. Most have either Vacuum or ESC connector, but not both. RockAuto has one (D2086) that appears correct, but doesn't include the coil on top.

I know i can remove ESC, but I think i'd like to keep it "correct".... anybody have tips on where to find the right one? thanks!

Scratch this. I bypassed ESC by jumpering the 2 wires and the beast runs. Started up immediately!!! Will start another thread to ask about ESC. Feel free however, to post any helpful info, i still may need it some day....
