Coilpack is probably better, as you don't have points to change (unless it's contactless :boggle or timing to mess up.

early dizzy motor wins it for me, better pistons, better crank as standard and if its not been fucked with an early XE should have a coscast head(from the GTE's)

you do get early/late coscast heads. later ones are ones to go for if going =1mm valves ideally, but tbh i much prefer a gm head over a coscast evrytime

You can tell if its a coscast head by a "coscast" stamp round the edge of one of the inlet holes on the block. Aren't the GMs ones prone to being porus (sp)?

Coscast can go porous. Easy fix to do the porous mod on a gm head anyway. And theres a stamr under number 2 ex port saying coscast.

An XE with a distributor does not use points. You also cant mess the timing up as if my memory serves me correctly, it only goes together one way.

Is that a guess or have you done loads of research? Neither is more un-reliable than the other in my experience.
