I've installed several over the years, no particular brand preference, never had a failure.
They will work with a "less than perfect" distributor as far as the shaft bushings are concerned. The centrifugal and vacuum (if equipped) advance do need to work properly. The ignition timing will need to be checked after the installation.
They are polarity sensitive, voltage specific (6 or 12v), and must have the proper coil or coil/resistor combination. Some, especially the high performance products, require resistor plug wires. (My opinion, the high performance systems are a waste of money on a low compression, low RPM engine.)
The electronic systems that replace the points are just that, they replace the troublesome points and condenser. It will not solve any other problems like plug fouling, damp/wet misfire or no start, other ignition problems associated with a bad coil, cap, rotor, or loss of spark because of a bad starter, small cables, or bad electrical connections.
Whatever brand you get, follow the installation requirements exactly and it will give many years service.
