Any Ford Cologne V6 experts in here?

I'm starting on a new project car for my wife, and it'll be powered by a Ford 2.8l V6.  Since the Holley Sniper system worked out fantastic on our Mach 1 project, I figured it would be a good contender for TBI on a 2.8l, except I can't find a distributor that's compatible.  Holley makes a Hyperspark distributor for the Ford I6, but nothing specifically for the V6, and I do not know if they are interchangeable.  I would really like for the Holley unit to control timing, so running a standard distributor would be a last resort.

Any suggestions?

I wonder if the distributor from a EFI 2.8, 2.9, or 3.0 Ranger or Aerostar woud fit?

The German Granada 2.8 i have bosch K-jetronic "mecanical" fuelinjection with electrical fuelpump
easy to work with. but it is probably difficult to find one in USA. Though they have a ordinary breakerless
distributor so no luck there.

The european 2.9 have Bosch EFI but i dont know anything about the dist

I don't see why a 2.9L Ranger / Bronco II distributor wouldn't fit.  They're fairly easy to find on Ebay, etc. 

The later Cologne 4.0L that I'm more familiar with had a distributorless ignition system with a six post coil block.  The cam position sensor was mounted to a flush distributor base that plugged into the old distributor hole in the block and drove the oil pump.

70's distributors were Duraspark mag pickup, with mechanical advance.  Same as the MSD Billet distrbutor.  You can use the duraspark to trigger an HEI module or MSD box and have the EFI control fuel only, or lock out the distrubutor and have the EFI computer control the advance.
 2800 cams turn backwards because the of the gear driven camshaft, Domestic 2.9l distributors will not work.

 Using 70's Ford Duraspark distributors for performance use is very common among the V8 crowd.
