Dan, I am curious about the comment "good distributors are getting hard to find". I have never really seen one go bad. I will say that they all eventually need to be disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and reassembled to get the centrifugal and vacuum advance working properly. From there the only question is "are points and condenser available" - I haven't had difficulty yet with that. The 1978-1981 distributors with Hall Effect may be more difficult to get parts for, but again I have not had much trouble with those except for the mechanical part of the distributor as mentioned above. All that said, it seems that there should be aftermarket electronic ignition kits readily available for 4-cylinder distributors (but you still need to have the mechanical centrifugal and vacuum systems working properly to actually control the timing).
