Wow, lotsa hate for the points. I'll have to be the contrarian here and say if you already have a points distributor that is in good shape put a set of GOOD points in it, set it, and forget it. If you have a GOOD HEI run that. Nothing to gain by spending money replacing either if you have one or the other and it is working properly.
Been running a set of Accel 32oz. points for 4 years now with a Pertronix box for the rev limiter. No issues, starts as fast as anything else I've tried (I've tried them all) and will rev higher than my valvetrain lets me. I'll admit I adjusted the dwell once. If having to do that bothers you, or you drive 15,000 miles/year or more don't run points.
Whatever you decide don't use any of the common recurve kits on the market. You're better off with stock springs/weights.
