Here's a couple photos of the inside of a '55/'56 Loadomatic distributor (with points) for you to compare to what you have. With any luck the only original parts that may be missing will be the points & condenser and a mounting screw or two.
A ground wire for the points will hopefully be intact. (photo 3)
Photo 4, just for reference, a '56 distributor with what might be a Pertronix module inside, but you can barely see it because the rotor is in the way.
