1970 442 Convert Engine rebuild help needed

Hi. I have a very stock 1970 442 convertible undergoing complete 455 matching VIN engine rebuild and I have found correct intake and quadrajet carb to put back on. It was an original W25 car and I am putting back on the forced air induction.

I am considering upgrading the stock ignition system, but want it to simply "look" factory correct. Any recommendations for best reliability and performance and suppliers/vendors?

I'm storing the original stock exhaust manifolds any may bolt on headers. That's the only mod I'm considering from straight stock rebuild....any suggestions on this route and also supplier ideas?

Thanks!
Jeff

Pertronix for the ignition...it will keep the points look but replace it with a totally electronic ignition. Headers, I have Doug Thorley's and they are really nice, but pricey
