I have a friend thats been using gm hei distributors for years in his 318 derby engines and there the best starting 318s ive ever heard not saying its the way to go but might be worth looking into

You want a good starting 318,
LOL, ;) Use a Dakota small starter.
Weighs less, uses less amperage, and spins the engine Faster.

I use Electronic ignition on my 1964 Valiant, reused the stock coil;
I had a spare Module box for 20 years +,
and bought a "New" reman dist for a 1973 340 Duster at the
local Advance Auto parts, and the wiring harness
from my local Mopar dealer {Albany Dodge},

You can do this at current prices for about $100.
with all "New" parts, and if your car ever breaks down on the road,
there are no "custom" parts to buy, you just buy parts for a
1973-74 car, that are easy to find.

It cost me $10. for the wiring harness, {Wow its up to $19.95 now}
$5. for the Module at a swap meet, and I have another spare Module
I bought on Ebay for $12. shipped. A new Module at Advance Auto
is $25. - $30.00. Part Number: EL110 Our Price: $23.48

The distributor was about $6. cheaper, than current price 2 years ago;
Part Number: 303890 Our Price: $46.46
Core Charge: $10.00
