Question Holley or Ford Distributor?

Finally got to working on the '63 unibody with a 223 engine. Got her started and want to do a tune-up. When shopping for the points, cap and rotor, it gives the option for either a Holley or Ford distributor. How can I tell which one I've got?

Does it have any markings on the outer sides of the distributor body? If it has not been replaced and if it's Ford it should have FoMoCo cast into the body, I would think.

Couple of examples.

My 1964 F100 2WD 292
