Is the TI AMP box still mounted to the fender well on the drivers side behind the headlamp.
The 272 coils were never offered in service thus are difficult to find and EXPENSIVE $500 - the reproductions are not worth having.
My Green LT1 has the original box distributor and coil,
The Black LT1 has all of the parts with the car however currently it has a mallory distributor.
I imagine it could run 1500 - 2000 to convert the car back if you have to buy everything.

YOU COULD put a points distributor and coil with a TI coil label and dummy the TI harness.

They make solid state circuit boards for the amplifiers and they generally do not have problems.
You can also service the original boards yourself with new MUCH BETTER transistors for less than $100 in parts.
The systems are good for 10k RPM and unlike points have no wear points like the distributor lobes or the actual points faces.
