Hey crabb,
Did just what you're trying to do, on my '61 Apache with 235.... The Pertronix ignition kit you need is #1168, takes about fifteen minutes to install, and makes a world of difference. Keep your old points and condensor in the glove box in case you ever have trouble on the road with the pertronix. I installed the Holley/Weber 2 bbl from Langdon's stovebolt, with the water heated choke. Again, a world of difference. The Pertronix was around $85.00 as I recall, and the carb, with necessary linkage kit and manifold adapter plate was just under $100.00 from Langdon's....
