Sorry for the delay on the reply, I miss them sometimes. You will not havve much trouble with a stock points distributor, I had to shave a little bit of plastic material framing the window for adjusting the dwell to make if fit well and enable me to turn the distributor enough but that really isn't an issue. You will not be able to put a newer type distributor in your car as it is just too big. If you want electronic ignition go with an aftermarket conversion kit like Pertronix makes as it all fits inside the old points type distributor. Another option is a Mallory dual or single point distributor, their body is a little slimmer and the distributor sets up about 3/4 inch higher so there is more clearance. Just some thoughts.
