From 1981 on up most GM HEI distributors are the same. You'll have to get one from the pre-EST types prior to 1981. It'll have to have the vacuum advance diapragm on it. An earlier non-CCC Regal, Olds, Pontiac or other GM 231 engine distributor should work.

I think you will be looking for years 1978-80 Buick V6's (3.8 or even 4.1). Earlier V6's will be odd fire and later (as Freddie said) will be EST.
1978-80 A/G body cars are easy to spot because they are the earlier body styles. The CCC system and new sheetmatal occured together in 1981. But you can also find a Buick V6 is just about any GM car model.
