What to use for ignition high HP engine???

I like the old points type stuff. In fact, I just put an old points distributor in my 500 HP 427. The only time in my life that I had to be flat-bedded home was a week ago. I had a Mallory unilite conversion in it. The junk burned up and left me stranded. I got the car home, put a real distributor and a good coil in it. Promptly went out and did some 7 grand shifts! A good set-up points system will work great for you.

Back in the day, I put a Delco-Remy CD ignition kit on my 427 car. Eventually it died and I went back to D112P HD Delco points in the stock distributor. When we bought our 396 car in '97, it had an HEI that eventually died. There again I went back to HD points in a good Delco distributor and the car starts and runs fine. Blue Streak make good HD points as well. The points system provided plenty of spark for the L72 and L78 and these engines aren't shy on rpm potential either. I've never seen any reason to go to anything else.
