if you want to do away with the points distributor, a 1972+ HEI distributor from a Buick ( *must* be Buick ) 455ci will drop right in.
if you need any other engine work done, look for a Rover v8 specialist. the Rover 3.5L - 4.6L is a metric version of the 1961-63 Buick 215ci and shares many design features with the Buick big blocks, which were introduced in 1967. obviously, the 430 is cast iron.
