If you aren't overly concerned with originality I'd say toss the points and put an electronic conversion kit on your current distributor, step up to a Blaster II coil and bypass the resistor wire. Keep all the stuff you take out of it in case you ever feel the need to go back to original. The nice thing about the electronic ignition is the car can lay around or get driven every day and there really isn't much maintenance other than a cap and rotor every now and then. I used to not mind points but on my last Chevelle I spent more time adjusting and cleaning them than I did driving the car since it sat so much
