Upgrade Ignition help???

Have you considered Pertronix? I just upgraded my points to Pertronix Ignitor II ignition and Pertronix Ignitor II epoxy coil. The ignition kit was $105 and the coil was $35ish with free shipping. If your distributor bushings are good, you can install the kit in your old distributor. 2 wires to hook up and it does away with the ballast (I gutted mine, soldered a wire in place of the ballast for stock look). I used the epoxy coil because the stock mounting on my poly is on the intake sitting on its side.

Easy to install and works great so far. I am running .035 gap but will try out a larger gap in the future.
