429 Ignition

Hello,
I have a 429 big block in my 71 F-250 and am looking for a good electronic ignition setup. I was thinking about using one of the durasparks that would have been in this engine originally. Would that work? Points sounds easier to set up, but electronic sounds like the best way to go. Is that true? Any other recomendations on what type of distributor setup to go with???

Thanks,
mpuvdd

The electronic is the way to go. The duraspark would work fine. If going aftermarket MSD is the best choice imo.
