Some of those chrome wire separators would look okay, (The ones with the o-rings in them). I know these things are easier to talk about than do, hell, my car would have been done years ago if it was as simple as that! You're doing good stuff and thinking things through, just remember this stuff is supposed to be fun!

These cars are great to drive, but you should also enjoy the process of building/modifying them. Carry on!

I like Accel if you are going for the 70's look. Mallory was the king in the 50's and 60's but lost considerable market share to Accel in the early 70's. Every shop in my area carried Accel back in the day so that is what I am partial to.

If you run the coil horizontally make sure you tighten the 4 top screws every so often. The old gasket shrinks with age and you might get some oil seepage between the two coil sections.

You could put a old school msd box cover on it like this one.

Looking good. Have you thought about finding one of the old Accel B.E.I. CD boxes and mount it on the firewall, just for looks?
I have an old advertisement somewhere for those on Grumpy's Toy. Dated around 74 to 75 I think.

I buried my MSD below the glove box and my Accel is mounted horizonly and to the left of where yours is.
