Hi Jimmy,
I would recommend the Boyer Bransden inductive discharge electronic ign. kit. It still uses the points but with negligable current running through them, the makers say points will last for 25,000 miles. The unit is smaller than a cigarette packet and is wired between coil and distributor. I have fitted one to an Austin Tilly and a Bedford MW for a customer. The instructions say that if the vehicle has an auto gearbox, the idle speed may be higher and will have to be readjusted after fitting the kit. This tells you something about how it improves the running. They do kits for 6 volt, neg or pos earth. They were less than £30.
Maker is Boyer Bransden Electronics Ltd at Maidstone, tel no 01622 730939. I have no connection with them, just find it a good way to boost the ignition with out major mods.
