It may not be an upgrade as much as a source of accelerating hatred. The casting number for your engine sounds like a later (1958 and up) model 235. Others may have ideas. Any of the 235 distributors from that time period will work or there are HEI alternatives. I have one of the offshore distributors made for the 230/250/292 I modified and showed how to modify here on the forum. It has been working since 1997 without trouble. It doesn't look like original but one of the few "original looking" HEI distributors was Tom Langdon's Mini-HEI and he hasn't been making them for a while now. Please avoid Pertronix though. As Jerry (HotRodLincoln) says there are two types of those: the ones that have failed and the ones that are fixing to fail.
