It's an old Delco-Remy for the OHV motor, and there's no alternative, just
the one part. The inliner crowd has the same problem.

Definitely the way to go is Pertronix, and for the adventurous, you can
extract another 10 degrees of mechanical advance from it. I've done both in
my motor. Ignition timing is so insanely conservative there's a lot of low
hanging fruit to be plucked here.

Note that the flathead and OHV motors use different distributors and the
Pertronix part number above is for OHV.
