I would suggest converting to the '78 or later factory CDI system.

Your 2.7 does have a CDI ignition; either Bosch or Permatune. You can replace the points with a Pertronix Ignitor II for a more steady timing signal.

FWIW, installing the '78 and later CDI system is NOT cheap nor easy as it requires a very rare '76 930 distributor, the later 8-pin CDI box, and some wiring changes.
