The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 292 Y Block Electronic Ignition Conversion Advice

I would like to convert my distributor to electronic ignition. Anyone have any advice or recommendations for doing that? It is a 1961 292 Y Block in a '61 F100 1/2 ton pickup. I see that there are modules that would replace the points or would I be better off installing a new electronic distributor? I am not completely sold on doing this as it is all original, but thinking it would be easier than messing with the finicky points. As far as I can tell there is no adjustment screw to set the dwell and have been having a hard time getting it right.
