distributor woes 120-130

I was about to hook up my Bosch breakerless ignition distributor (from a 1975 240) when I read the earlier posts about advance v. retard distributors. Turns out these are retard distributors and I would rather stick with what my car came with. I will, however, convert to breakerless ignition probably with the Crane set-up from IPD. I'm a little concerned about the armored cable thing and I would like to replace the coil anyway (already have a new Bosch Blue Coil). My original distributor is a Bosch 028 which does not seem to be listed in the IPD catalogue (though I could discuss that with them directly)

Anyone have experience with this? Any words of wisdom?

Many thanks!
