You would need to use a coil recommended by Petronixs. A heavy duty, epoxy filled one would be best. I'm not sure of any need to even use a MSD AL6 box with a Petronixs points replacment module (?). Probably better off without one.

For a somewhat closer to original look, a Mallory distributor uses a standard size cap (not sure if black is available) and regular wire boots. It looks closer to an original than a MSD.

And paint the motor black. Amazing how some slightly different details, brackets and bolts sort of fade into obscurity against all of that black paint.
