Call Pertronix and ask for Carl in customer support. He's very helpful, and there's a chance they've encountered this situation before.

The fit is about the base plate, not the cap. If it works, it'll have to 
be the AH one, hope it fits under the cap. It should, the rotor height is 
the same so you should be ok.
