19100-61180 Non-US Distributor - Convert to Toyota Electronic Ignition or Sell as Points Distributor?

[4Cruisers]

I've got a used non-US distributor to refurbish, and have new Toyota parts to keep the points set-up. I also have the required parts, mostly good used Toyota parts, to convert it to Toyota electronic ignition. What set-up would be best for re-sale here on MUD?

Here's my earlier thread with details on the electronic ignition conversion (19100-61180 specifically starting with Post #18):

Thread 'Distributor Tech - '75 through '77 Conversion to Electronic Ignition Using Toyota/NipponDenso Parts'

Jan 24, 2021

This evening I finished upgrading a lightly used 2015 Trollhole electronic distributor using Toyota/NipponDenso parts. I replaced the stationary (breaker) plate with a '78 through '80 2F stationary plate, replaced the electronics with a new Camry (Celica, not Camry - it was late at night when I posted this) signal generator, and adjusted the Trollhole advancer to closely match the vacuum advance curve of the '77 2F advancer (same advance curve as the main diaphragm in the '78 through '80 2F advancers). I also installed a new OEM O-ring, rotor, and distributor cap. It will require a '78...

If there is no run out/ wobble in the shaft, I would put points in it. I save elctronic ignition conversions for dizzies that have too much runout to hold a proper dwell with points.

Thanks for the input, I think I'll go that route.

I have two sets of brand new points-related parts (cam, breaker plate, points, condenser, and attachment hardware) from earlier 19100-61180 conversions to electronic ignition, as well as new Toyota mechanical advance weights with sleeves, OEM distributor caps, and OEM points and points shields (to replace the 19100-61180 anti-overrun parts). One set for the 19100-61180 and one set for another 2F medium cap points distributor refurbishment.
