Re: electronic igntion choice
In my opinion, I'd avoid the Pertronix and similar products. While some have had no problems, we've had our share, and we unfortunately aren't alone.
The easiest way out will be to put an MSD box on it somewhere (hide it!!) and your points then become only a trigger device, leaving the MSD system to provide the fire...this is definitely a step up, and pretty straight forward. A step up from that is to use an MSD (or oem Chrysler) pickup in your distributor which will trigger your MSD unit...a little more involved, but will last forever and a day. Dave's HEI out in Cali offers this type of conversion, but it's not too terribly difficult to make one for yourself...

Re: electronic igntion choice
I've used a Mallory Unilite and was 100% happy. Currently I'm still running the stock points units on both 327s, but I'll probably swap one or both soon. I'm probably going with Dave's HEI at that point.

Re: electronic igntion choice
I too am using the Mallory Uni-lite setup, but have not run the original points setup to compare against. I'm inclined to remove the Mallory setup after receiving a ride in an 11k mile Deuce that was shifted into 2nd gear at 7,200 rpm - while my mouth was hung open. If good points can take take that rpm, then I'm putting them in rather than run the risk of one of these breakerless systems failing me - I'll already have the distributor out for my pending cam change

Re: electronic igntion choice
Shifted at 7,700 with a single point corvette distributor. NEVER had a problem. Roller cam, Tarantula intake, 750 double pumper,angle plug heads, 488 gears, stock LT1 pistons with the top ring grove moved up. Muncie 4 speed with Trans End parts. Lakewood Bars,stock axles, stock GM ring and pinnon, 9" tires. NO tied frame. 3,250 lbs. Those were the days. Didn't get to technical, because it wasn't very technical. Stuck to the basics. 11.50's at 122mph Ran A/Bracket or D/FX circa 1973-75. 1969 Chevy SS nova bought new at Mullin Chevrolet, Ambler, Pa. April 1969 Loved it! Wish I still had it!
