200 ignition system

Gentlemen, my latest endeavor is a '65 Econoline pickup with a 200. In the past I have replaced all my older fords with Duraspark ignitions. But when I bought this one, I ordered the parts , installed them and couldn't make it run, so I pulled it all back out and put a '71 point distributor in it to get it running. I never went back to figure out what component was the issue, just continued with the point dist. for the last 2 years. However in the lst 2 years I have replaced 4 condensers, the last one a few days ago. So I'm wondering what you guys would suggest for an ignition system. eec, pertronix,points????

Are you running the stock resistance wire to the coil or are you running the full 12 volts?
