A couple options for you, that have been mentioned:
First is
points distributor with TFI module and TFI coil:

Next is either TFI or locked-advance DS distributors to a programmable ignition or full engine control, in this example Speeduino, but others are similar. With this, any coil, or even distributorless coil packs can be used, although the TFI coil is a good one. The controller settings are included, but ignore them for now:

The module wiring is nearly identical, but 2 wires to the controller, 1 to the coil. An example of an inexpensive kit to DIY assemble is the
UA4C, with
case, case
end plates, pigtail
harness and
BlueTooth module if you want wireless tuning. The DS distributor is a VR system, so will also need a
signal conditioner. While an even less expensive unit could be used, this one gives the option to do full EFI control if you decide to go that way in the future. Yes, it's a full EFI ECM, and we are only using the ignition control portion of it for this.
I hope to finish design and development of a complete and assembled (ready to install) programmable ignition controller available by summer, at a similar price or under $200.
