Not Ranked
The early 8579 distributors originally used a cap sourced from an International V8 application (maybe AMC too). They used aluminum screw down clamps to secure the cap. The later ones use a screw through the cap only. Replacement caps are available (good quality)with brass terminals through NAPA an KEM (ignition parts company), but you will have to use the clamps mentioned, which are available from MSD. The MSD rotor is a good piece, stick with it. As mentioned above MSD is now making the small diameter cap for the 8579 distributor in Black as well as Red.
