Hey II,
I agree that the HEI is a better choice for commonalty. I swapped one into my 62 Chevy II when I rebuilt it, very easy swap. I have one in my 235 for years.
But on the other hand, if you get the Pertronix unit, you can switch back to points easily, on any back woods road. I haven't seen the instructions, but once you lean to do the swap, you will be able to go back to points easily if needed. Just carry a spare set of points and condenser.
Just a thought
