For ignition upgrades:

Certainly the "slickest" package is the integrated distributor/coil made by DUI. It's also near the top in price.

Cheapest would probably be the Pertronix. Also it's the simplest to fit. I personally don't like this product because I've noticed a significant number of failed units, and a lack of tech support other than a willingness to exchange faulty ones. Hindsight suggests at one point they had definitely released a problematic batch of ignition units, and yet made no effort to bulk recall...

Mid-budget is a Ford Duraspark distributor, with a GM ignition module, and a Ford TFI coil. You will have to dig into the Duraspark even if bought "rebuilt", as they are well-documented to arrive incorrectly calibrated. It's not very hard or expensive to sort out. Also, a genuine Delco GM ignition module is likely superior to the odd brands sometimes sold in parts stores.

Dearest setup is the Ford Duraspark, with aftermarket hot coil and an MSD 6A ignition box. I say dearest assuming all parts are bought new or reconditioned, and correctly adjusted.

The header you have is fine, and overall mileage is low so there should be no big wear issues to deal with.

In order of operation I personally would change the ignition, then the cam/timing set. Only after that would I worry about the carb. Your motor won't blow up if it's undercarbed. :wink:

Thanks...Waht about the ones that Oreily's sell..I think they are Acell?
 
I wouldn't worry about the coils or modules. OEM (Ford, or GM/Delco) are equally sufficient. The Accel leads should be OK.
 
I think the accell modules are around $60 and its such a simple circut I cant see any possible performance differnce in them only quality and as long as you avoid the $20 variety I have had good luck with many brands but the genuine Gm ones seem to be slightly better.
