i just didnt want to spend a lot of money on it because i still need a lot of other parts for the restoration. and if i can save some money, points are good enough right now. just want to know what a good set of points i should run.

Ok finish the car, drive it with points but keep the revs down till you can afford the replacement module. Easy solution

Look for a set of Bosch OEM points, change out to the electronics if the points are not getting the job done.
I have had engines up to 7000rpm with the OEM points, does not mean it was the "best" but it did work.

To answer your question the Bosch "Tiger tail" Points are the performance version noted by the white striped black wire on the points. They are known to handle 6000+
