Hi Scott,
The pot-metal into which that pin fits wears away over time. The
missing pin can be replaced with a piece of hard wire; it would seem that
a roll pin, cut to length, would work as well. It will drop out, as
yours did, when the clip is released, unless it could be secured to the
distributor again.
I have seen owners pein the distributor metal back over the V shapes
into which the pin fits, but suspect that the metal is pretty soft and
that this is not a repair that would last forever. Perhaps someone has
tried to rebuild the pin receptacle with JBWeld?
