Pertonix is a good, EZ way to upgrade your points ignition, takes about 1/2 hour.... and at $50 to $75 in price... not a bank breaker either... now when you upgrade further.. the DUI dizzy is the way to go... but at $375... it's pricey.....

Just get a Pertronix unit in there, you won't need to upgrade further later on, unless you rebuild the motor to where it'll be turnin 8,000 rpms. The pertronix unit with a good rebuilt stock dist is good for 7,000 rpms, which is really more than most FE's will be turned anyway. I've used one on a 7500 rpm small block with good results.
