B points and condenser hard to find as well,along with a few internals.The B distributor has a design flaw,the breaker plate shaft/drive shaft get no lubrication and is small in diameter..you can get oil to it through modification.The FSI electronic distributor,either zipper A style or the stand alone industrial body style uses a hall effect style pickup and has adaptive dwell,spot on coil soak everytime.The biggest problem with the pertronix/FSI pickups is the need for clear voltage signal,tying it in with an old sketchy harness and grounds leads to failure.
