Don't be concerned about being new...............we were all new at one time.
You have to decide if you want to stay with points or go "high tech" with a Pamco. If you stay with points, you are restricted to 4 ohms or greater coils. That puts a limit on how strong a spark you will get. Points wear and need adjustments every so often.
If you go with a Pamco ignition, you can choose any coil from 2.5 ohm to 4.5 ohm primary resistance. That gives a much larger choice of coils. Some lads buy the Pamco with a coil as a set from Mikesxs. Some buy used coils off of E-bay, such as H-D coils, Honda coils, Andrews coils. I use an Accel coil that I bought new, and it has worked extremely well for me.. Prices for coils can be from $10.00 to $100.00+.
Pamco has recently brought out the E-advancer, which eliminates the ATU fly-weights and springs. With the points and the fly-weights gone, the engine starts and runs better and smoother.
I'm not a sales agent for Pamco or Accel, just stating what works well for me. Use the Google Search in the upper left corner to look around the site here. Choose what suits your budget.
The bottom line is that if you have old weak ignition, your engine will be hard to start and mostly run like crap.
