I have been trying to find one of the pre Indy offset distributors offered by NRC (Newman Racing Components)then Predator for awhile now. The ones I do find the sellers want more than they paid for them. 
This is that I was thinking. I had the old NRC distributors on both our b1-TS engines and they were great. I think Indy now makes their own version but the price isn;t pretty. Your other option is going to the MSD Front mount belt distributors.

Yep. I think the set-up runs about $1700.
not sure if the MSD cap adapt fits the big mopar pro billet or if it will clear the valve cover.
anyone?

I am currently using an older Mopar MSD distributor(part# 8536) which uses a Chevrolet distributor cap!  I don't know if they are available anymore but it works great for me. I run a crank trigger and the MSD Digital multi- retard box and phase my rotor 1/2 way between my maximum retard.

I have that style dist on mine too with the adjustable rotor and cap-a-dapt that uses the big Ford cap.
I'm pretty sure the cap-a-dapt and rotor are out of production at least for that distibutor.

While nice, the large cap is not a must. Just keep the initial low, use a crank trigger, phase the rotor in the right spot and you will never have an issue
Monte
that's what i was thinking plus i always run a locked out crank trigger. if you have things set up right there shouldn't be an issue even if you're modifying the timing downtrack
