I think over 4 years ago I bought a points style Dizzy for my 460. It was from Rich Porter Technology. Billet aluminum. But I can't find anything on-line about it now. Looks like he might have sold out to Spectra. Once I go through all the extra sets of points I have I'll put a pertronix unit in it.
If I were to do it again I'd prolly buy a Pertronix kit. Dizzy and coil.

A Duraspark II dizzy will be your safest bet.

What are the part numbers, or brands of distributor you have tried before.

Does the duraspark require an ignition box my truck didn't come with one so I am not sure what I would need to run it

Stock intake and thermostat housing?

You can but one from Parkland Auto Machine - Products They will curve it for better performance and the price is great for what you get.
