Hello, would like to switch from points to electronic ignition and was wondering what was the least expensive way to go with this. I have a 250 engine in a 63 C-10. Thanks.

Find a 1975 or newer 250 and grab the HEI distributor. May cost you $50 at most from a salvage yard.

You might want to check out a Pertronix electronic ignition set-up. I have used them and had great luck. If you do have a problem you can always carry the point set-up to put in to get you back home.
