I was so p!ssed I ran points for a year. Then I got a couple remote coil HEI distributor caps on ebay, and I was able to put an HEI distributor together.
GM had a similar light blue, called Corporate Blue.

Those pertronix points eliminators is priced high, close to those import hei dizzy. My friend had one, it quit after 4 yrs. Now he has an Import hei and so far good, we are giving it a try, i have one of those rochester monojet clones, 5 yrs now and from setting it when i fitted i havent touched it since,
This blue is close to corporate blue, just a hint of black added, what i had to paint motor, so i used some, but it looks nice.
Cheers.
