All Small Six 250 Won't Stay Running

This relates to all small sixes
So it turns out I was wrong about it being a points distributor. I opened it up to get familiar with it and realized none of the parts look like what I was seeing online. I showed them to a more mechanically inclined friend of mine and he said it looks like a stock distributor that had an electric conversion done. He also recommended replacing the rotor and distributor cap because the contacts looked rough in his opinion.

I went and picked up a new distributor cap and rotor kit at Autozone, but unfortunately it isn't the right form factor. Way too shallow.

Any thoughts on next steps with this new info and pictures?

I don't believe what you have is a conversion, it looks like factory stuff but I don't know which application. Couldn't the counter person match up what you have?

Buy a cap and rotor.

I re-read that you went to Autozone, do you have a real auto parts store where you live?
