Its hard to beat the functionality, reliability and servicability of MSD. The multi sparks help starting, idling and low speed operation. Rev limiters are available. They can work with just about any distributor including points type. The points should last just about forever as they are not handling high voltage with an MSD. For another project I dug into HEI ignitions. The HEO module makes a lot of heat and does best mounted to a large heat sink... not in a distributor. Also, it seems like the available mechanical advance may be too limited for some applications.

For use up to 6000 RPM I'd suggest MSD with any distributor in decent shape and curved correctly including a points type. Just set plug gap based on the capability of the distributor/cap/rotor. More gap means more secondary voltage so don't "overload" it. If using an older style points distributor, stick with .035".
