I use Pertronix 1 in five of my cars for several years with zero problems. I use their coils also and remove the labels to keep the factory stock look. To hide the second wire coming from the distributor I use heat shrink tube and just slightly shrink it to look like one wire and route it under the coil to fool the eye at shows.
Just got a Pertronix 3 to test, so far I see no gain of anything on a stock car with a 361 2bbl. Use the P1 and spend the money you save on their coil!

I got the Pertonix 1, avoid Pertronix 2 and Pertronix 3 is expensive.
Very easy to install and distributer looks stock except for an extra
wire. You can keep your old points in case it ever fails and pop them
right in. Engine starts fast and I'll never have to mess with points
again. I run a modern 12v coil with it and have jumped the ballast.
No longer have to worry about ballast failure either. Takes about
half an hour, you can do it in 15 minutes probably.
