Loadomatic upgrade

I suspect my LoM dizzy is giving me a rough idle, not sure. I got the dwell at 36 deg. and the timing light hits the mark maybe 80% of the time but then seems to miss the mark the other 20% of the time. I have read everything I could find on the subject and am here looking for a confirmation and a recommendation. I know the Loadomatic is not that great and it is recommended to get a dizzy with vac and mechanical advance. What else can I use? I would also love to go electronic but I don't want to have to change the gear or the shaft or the carb. BTW, I have a 1100 automate with the spark control value on it. I'd like to do a simple swap as possible. Thanks
