[V8] Distributor Seals, Mufflers...

As the owner of a 1608 Fiat with 4-40 mm Weber throats and a direct-coupled
dry manifold, I can tell you the intake roar is impressive (as is the fuel
consumption!).  Back to V8's...like everybody else, I finally got tried of
the car-beque smoke from the leaking distributors/cam covers.  Where's a good
place to find the 2 O-rings, 3 square-section rings, distributor shaft seals,
and cam cover seals?  Dealer only?  Also I've heard of some aftermarket
center muffler options--mine's rusted out (again).  I kinda like the factory
hush, but wouldn't mind a bit more rumble I guess.  I have found a used OEM
one for $185, does someone have a recommendation for something new for about
that price? TIA!
