The original points type ignition will make as much power as any aftermarket system, up to 500 HP or more.  But electronic units will usually give you better starting and better idle quality.  We carry a GM HEI distributor with tach drive. 

There are diagrams available on the web that show the simple modification to your wiring for an internal alternator.  It basically involves removing several wires, and doubling one back on itself.

Almost every wiring harness you can buy from catalogs is made by Lectric Limited.  They are correct and fit.

i kept the  original distribitor but upgraded it with a Pertronix module to eliminate the points. also added the Pertronix II coil. you will need to eliminate the ballast resistor, and runyour constant 12volt wire from the fuse box to the coil. great upgrade for me .no problems and i`m running High performance. good luck with the build.

thanks guys ...... i'll start there
