=> I am thinking maybe I need a nice hot coil
=> and some type of aftermarket electronic ignition

The 'hot' coil will do nothing for performance and probably fail a whole 
lot sooner than an original stock coil. The benefit of electronic 
ignition amounts to relieving you of adjusting points once in a while, 
at the cost of a fair amount of money and hassle. And if you keep the 
009 you'll still have the same performance problems in any case. A good 
stock distributor and stock points will make you happy for cheap. Am I 
missing something?
