Those are available at NAPA, as well as most real auto parts stores, though may require ordering.

For the occasional need you can get a similar set of S-shaped wrenches at Harbor Freight for $16.

Re: Pesky rear bolt on distributor wrench
I have those "S" shaped wrenches, Matt, they're useless! In order for a curved wrench to be of any value, both ends need to curve the same way. The ultimate effect of "S" shape is pretty much the same as a straight wrench but less useful.
