The only giveaway that it's not an OEM ignition system is two wires going to the distributor housing instead of one. I'd suggest using the "tall cap" distributor from a 12 volt stovebolt engine, as the higher voltage developed by the high output coil can "flash over" to the distributor housing if a plug wire open circuits or falls off the plug with the shorter height cap and rotor used on the 6V engines.
