Need help selecting ignition

[bigdaddy999]

This is going to sound crazy but just bare with me. I have a 87 gt. A couple years ago the ignition was all screwed up and i wasnt getting spark with the electronic distributor. My father has a 1967 Mercury cyclone. He decided for laughs to take his points distributor and oil filled coil out of his car and try it in mine. Sure enough, the car started right up. I bought different electronic distr., coils, wires, u name it. I could not get it going with the electronic stuff, so I left the Points. I am now looking to add some power. Since my car wont run with electronic stuff, i guess I will stick with the points and oil filled coil. Can you get any real power with a points distributor, or can i get some sort of setup that is not electronic module?. My dad has changed his points to elecronic with a flame thrower coil and distributor. Does anyone know what kind of setup I can by to have a good ignition setup. I feel like the points is just a power robber. Any suggestions? PLease help...
