So, I need a fatter spark, and the 0.6 I know understand will eat my points, no bueno
But should I get a stock coil from The Truck Shop in OC for $24, or should I go on ebay and get the Pertronix 40511 Flame-Thrower Coil 40,000 Volt 3.0 ohm Black for $40. Will it generate that much of a better spark, and not eat my points?

Thanks for the review everyone, I have a good Optima Battery with a steady 6.2 volts, new cables from the parts store, I resurfaced the frame so no rust and good contact. I even have a rebuilt starter.

Will there be a good balance, better starting spark that will start my truck easily and not eat points....?
