I don't have any iron housings for Pontiac but I do have a couple of iron distributors laying around for Chevrolet on the mezzanine, one has been in the Nomad since the early 70's and when I daily drove that car it always worked flawless. In fact it still has the same set of points in it from the 80's when I was driving it, that thing still fires right up on the first lick and purrs. Always thought the little oil tube with a spring lid was a cool feature. They had service in mind when they built those.

I don't really have any issues with the aluminum housings either. Run the original in the Firebird and the original 480 in the 69 Z. I still see them at swap meets all the time, not the expensive numbers type so much but run of the mill points distributors are pretty much still a dime a dozen at swap meets. Saw a handful of them this weekend for $30-$40. People always dump them thinking the newest wiz bang setup is better. Could always pick up a couple of those, if they feel tight, and most of them seem to be, I'd have no issue going through it and running it for a project for myself.
