You can buy Pertronix for the original Distributor as mentioned.If you want to upgrade the Distributor than try and purchase a 57 later type Distributor.Than ad Pertronix to it.Last time this swap was a topic the exchange Distributors were in short supply and hard to find.Don't know if the availability has improved.

  

How 'bout a Pertronix? Replaces the points and condenser in the original dizzy; no need to modify anything.

I'm looking to replace my original points distributor in my '56 272 with a ford distributor I can put electronic ignition in. Anything compatible that's Ford that will accept electronic ignition?

Found two broken pushrods, thought I'd replace them all....looking for quality replacement pushrods.

Thanks for taking to time steer me in the right direction.
