Spoken like a man who like many of us must have fallen into that rabbit hole and speaks from experience.

If anyone needs to replace that wire do not use ordinary wire for the purpose. Regular wire and insulation is much too stiff and will break after a short time due to the continual flexing from motion of the vacuum advance mechanism. You can do a search on ebay or in some parts store websites for "distributor ground lead" and find the correct ultra flexible fine stranded wire.

Main differences between the leads is length and the type terminal on the ends. You may not find exact to what you have but try and get something close that looks like it will work. Do not modify the wire by cutting and changing terminals or doing any soldering because that could cause a stiff stress spot where the wire would break.
