points ignition
So my truck is a 69 360 with a points ignition. What are my options for upgrading. I know that msd make one and you can convert your current dizzy. Can you guys give me some ideas or options?

How much money do you want to spend? The Pertronix would be the cheapest and they work well. If you want to really have adjustablity then a new MSD dizzy would get you what you want(at a steeper price).
I'd go Pertronix, as the high cost of a new MSD is just not justified unless you really need it.

wow, sure is more ways to improve than I thought. I was going go duraspark but the modules seem to sometime have problems. I think dui setup would be easiest. Still doing some searching.

Even MSD's are known to fail.
No brand pissing war here JMO's on what works for me, old topic beat to death many times over on this forum.

can I run a duraspark dizzy(from napa for less than $50), msd coil, and msd 6al box (in place of DS module)? msd sells a harness for for duraspark and 6al box. It's either that, crane conversion, or dui.

You could mix and match but anytime a MSD part is added to my vehicles i'll end up with a failure, ask Greg (GTEX) how many MSD's have failed plus a few other members on this forum.
If you have a good stock points dizzy with good bushings just install a trigger system to your liking replacing points.
