I don't think you actually want that though--that would require a return to points for ignition and either carburetor or mechanical fuel injection.

Also likely a generator instead of an alternator, most alternators use ICs for regulation. Having dealt with these systems, I actively convert older vehicles to alternator & electronic ignition to improve the reliability. No ICs would mean the need for a tuneup multiple times per year, vs. modern cars that only require oil changes for regular maintenance.
