Yeah, it's been posted many times, on Pontiac forums, that the big cap HEI can not be used with a Tri-Power intake.

But there are lots of small cap options. Lots of guys like the Pertronix Ignitor points replacement system. It allows you to retain the factory look.

If you don't care at all about the factory look, there are other options. Don't know your budget. A high end option is an MSD dist & coil.

The Pertronix is cheaper.

This one has the Ignitor 3, with rev limiter. You can usually find a 25% online discount from Advance Auto.

Even with tax, the Summit brand is a few bucks cheaper.

Then there are the cheap Chinese Ebay models. Some are also listed with a coil, and some with wires. Don't know if any of these items are usable or not.
