If you're still using the horrid AC Delco - then go for a Lucas 25 or 
45D with a Pertronix... much better. Only problem is not having a tacho 
drive. A later rev counter is an easy fit - though not as aesthetically 
pleasing.

The higher rated ones are probably only worth it if you have a 
performance engine.
