I’m pretty sure the GM hei module also needs a minimum of 12v to operate properly

Let me help, since words are hard. My opinion, in order of preference:
1. M&H / Breakerless SE - use resistance wire (low voltage) and follow coil requirements in instructions

2. NOS GM Points - use resistance wire (low voltage)
3. Anything else - likely needs full +12v to work correctly

Edit: and before someone starts comparing my list to HEI, MSD, or magnetos, my opinion is framed for use in stock points-type distributors in stock appearing applications.

We've had some discussions on CO about this module as well. I don't remember any unfavorable comments.

They claim the module "design compensates for worn (distributor) bearings," which would address one of your wants.
Guys, to be perfectly clear it was Gary's post that made my decision easy.
Pertronics was never on the table especially after it caused an engine to detonate in a boat I had converted in the 90's.

The pics I put up made it pretty clear which kit I installed.
In all the discussion the 6v 12v thing I thought pertained to the M&H kit, and it does not.
Its all good in the hood, thanks for the advice.
