what kind of engine? I would think a modern HEI swap would easy.grab one from the junk yard and give it a freshen

I would just do an HEI upgrade, if you wanna spend the scratch call MSD and put a complete modern ignition system on them. With how prices have come down on rebuild kits and aftermakret stuff it really isn't worth the hassle to deal with points or conversion stuff.

I've installed a number of different brand conversions at work.
This one seems to be the nicest, most reliable one yet.
Approx. 30 installs and zero failures.
