Along with MikeK's suggestions, you should add a knock sensor for optimum spark advance at all times.

Back in the day I put a points eliminator setup on my '74 Mustang V6. IR sensor across the cam lobes (with adapter) switched a transistor to drive the coil. No more burned points or worn rubbing block. Worked great until I sold it in '81.

Yeah, those 6 volts are a PIA, especially the negative ones.
