mopar forums ?

have you checked out the mopar forums, I know that chevy 6 parts can be made to work on chevy 6's from the 30's thru the late 50's to 12 V conversions. I have a Bosh racing Ignition on My 1922 model T speedster and the housing Dia and shaft size are the same as a Bosch 009 VW Bug distributor, MY next project on the Speedster is to upgrade the T to 12 V with the VW parts.

no on hemi

Hemi is V 8, some parts like points and condensor Might Fit , but most likely not. Chrysled made industrial Flat head 6's used in construction equipment, stationary air compressors, ( 3 cylinders were the engine and 3 cylinders were used to pump air. ) Mopar guys might know if the Slant 6 parts would work .
