You don't really need a fully electronic ignition..A Petronix I   will 
replace points, a P II  will extend the dwell at lower RPM...

impact in the trunk]  and or a GM  dual pole oil pressure switch..

A Bolted FW  is only necessary if yours is loose...or has high miles and 
might loosen before the next clutch job!

I can pull an LM  engine in 30 minutes..so I only replace what's bad NOW.....
