If the advance kits are for a SBC, those will work.

It's always good to have an extra module just in case. Stock one works the same.
I used to go to junkyards just to have spares.
Accel super coil ,good.

Any cap with brass terminals are usually better than stock.
Accel products are usually OK, but there are better IMO.

Yeah, taking it out and cleaning over the weekend. I'll see if I need to shim it when I check it. Is the distributor shaft greased with motor oil?

I'm most familiar with the Accel parts, that's what a lot of people were using from what I recall during the '80s. The Accel tan and Supercoil gray with yellow wires is period correct for aftermarket parts. So that's why I was thinking about them if I have to deviate to any color other than stock black and gray.
