Most of the aftermarket electronic ones I've seen are over $150.
Some also must use more expensive non-factory components, which would
make a difference at tune-up time.
You might prefer to check with an auto parts for the '74 on up factory
distributor.  You could get the component parts (coil, ECU) from a
wrecking yard.  You may want to get the distributor too, and if it
is in good shape put on a new cap & rotor.  If it's not so good, but
cheap, use it for the core charge on a rebuilt one.
