Hi all, 
This is my first Y-block and first post. I'd like to go to electronic ignition and would appreciate any advice you could give me on the kits I've located below, or any other kits you would recommend.
AIRTEX/WELLS 1A4087 $189 RockAuto
Standard Motor Products LX809 $199 RockAuto
Pertronix 1281 I-$64 Summit
Pertronix 91281 II-$100 Summit
I do have an off the line minor stumble, so I would also like to rebuild the 2bbl carb. I located the numbers below on the carb. The carb tag was missing. Could anyone tell me the proper rebuild kit I should order? 
1.02
92S
5752305
Autolite 4TY (on the choke cap) 
Sorry, I'm sure these questions have been asked before. I went through the first 12 pages in the Technical section and didn't find what I was looking for, so I decided to just ask.  
Thank you so much for your time and knowledge.
