Petronix is probably the cheapest and easiest way to go. The advantage is reliability and maintenance. The points need to be adjusted and or replaced fairly regularly. Back when I owned cars with points I always kept an extra set in the glove box, and they came in handy more than once.
I have a 68 GTO that I restored to stock about 10 years ago. One of the very few modifications I made to the car was replacing the points with a Petronix insert. It was quick, easy, cheap, and is still running strong.
Yup. My Chris-Craft had a 350 c.i. Indmar in it when I bought it. Under the right (well, "wrong") weather conditions, the distributor cap would get condensation inside it and totally screw up the spark from the points. I put in a conversion kit (I believe it was Petronix) and never looked back. Too inexpensive not to do it, IIRC it was under $100...
