I have on my 65 327/350 horse:
  • Pertronix Ignitor II (91181)
  • Flamethrower II Coil (believe it is 45011)
  • Delco 508N spark plug wires

And this is how I wired it up (the bottom schematic)

This would be true only if the existing components are defective and hampering performance. Otherwise, nope.
