Looking for fuel distribution block for my Mooney bravo.  My A and P said this part could be the issue when coming in to land and engine stalling on  roll out.

Did you consider taking it apart and cleaning it. There is nothing calibrated in there. I have found crud in them before. 
 

If it is dyeing on rollout, it is almost always the idle mixture and idle speed.

Not long ago, I had mine replaced the fuel distributor on my Acclaim due to similar symptoms. We got a rebuilt unit from a (fuel) repair station with an 8130, it was not crazy expensive, definitely less expensive than new (which were also not readily available). 

So you could return yours for an off-the-shelf rebuilt unit, or send it in for rebuild. 

At least one local mechanic indicated he would just handle it locally, and it sounds like there might be some DIY. FWIW the paperwork that came back it with had flow testing at different pressures, on all the distribution limbs. So that seems some additional peace of mind.
