New to Old Distrutor

[Unclepalmer]

someone long ago converted the distributor cap to a modern one with modern wires. To change back is it as simple as just replacing with the old style cap and copper connectors? The upper plate looks original.

Yes.

There are a couple things to check, Make sure that the slot for the arm that adjusts the timing does not interfere with full movement of the lever. If it does there are a couple thing to do without widening the slot. Second, the copper strap for #3 plug may jump a spark to the rod that controls the timing. Just adjust the strap so that it is not near the rod and/or put a piece of rubber tubing on the rod.
