Default Pertronix III

If you do go with the Pertronix distributor with the Chevrolet cap. Beware of clearance issues between the burp tank and the screw "ears" on the cap. I am using a Kirkham burp tank and it mount flush with the intake. The Ford "tin" burp tanks have like a 1/4 - 3/8 spacer.

My Pertronix cap does hit the Kirkham burp tank so I have to be careful setting up the timing. It limits how far I can twist the distributor back and forth. Right now I have it setup so it is timed correctly without the distributor cap contacting the burp tank.
