Also disconnect tach.

Change the HEI cap and rotor also, any HEI will work your
just testing to see if it runs fine, if it dose you can repair or
replace yours then, but that take the whole dist. out
loop completely.

No you don't need a msd if it ran before it'll run again (I don't need no stinking msd).

I don't believe your ignition system is up to par for anything except maybe Street Bracket.
I would install (minimum) a 6A , Blaster coil outside the cap and away from heat, and a new pick up coil for insurance. Eliminate the trouble sources.
You're only talking about maybe 300 bucks (American)
