The other option is to use a spare M151A2 distributor housing, as they had the wire coming out at an angle, which worked better for the M38 family.

Today I dropped the oil pump and rotated the gear, and same with the distributor... Seems to have accomplished the repositioning goal (thanks again Rob). I won't get a chance to set the timing and see the change in clearance between the alternator and ignition wire until spring, as the jeep is stripped to the frame right now.
I took a look at a distributor housing from an M151A2, and I agree they look like a far better fit for the M38A1. I may keep my eye open for one and swap it over in the future.
