So I started up my recently purchased '93 Four Winns (carb'd 5.0 OMC Cobra I/O (Ford 302)) for the first time today after replacing the plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor (as well as changed the motor oil and gear lube), and it sounds to me like it's missing when I give it some throttle.
I opened up the distributor and this is what I saw:
Now I haven't had much experience with distributors, but that I think is an old, nasty looking distributor that has been upgraded to electronic rather than points, right?
And a crappy Accel ignition coil?
I'm thinking it's about time to replace the entire distributor and get a new coil, and am looking for suggestions.
Keep in mind that I just changed the spark plugs and wires with quality OEM parts, so I'd rather not replace them again.
Would you go for an upgraded electronic unit, or keep it old-school with points?
This caught my eye; not sure if it's electronic or points though?

I've heard good things about this brand, but it would cost me a bit more as I would need to add a coil as well.

Any suggestions are appreciated,
Thanks!
