Staying with points ignition will teach you how these trucks were originally designed and how they work. Nothing wrong with points ignition. It's becoming a lost tuning art. I find it quite satisfying to replace the ignition parts and set dwell and timing on an engine. I've had classics and a muscle car from the 60's. All ran points ignition. Never had a failure. I've had my 72 since 73 and still running points. It's easy to change to hei down the road if you wish. Don't forget you will need a timing light whichever way you go. It's a nice truck. Keep it original. IMO
