Your compression is a bit low, but will perhaps improve after some extended driving.

You will be more satisified with your drivability if you have the distributor rebuilt. The point gap problems are likely caused by sloppy bushings. Hard starting when warm is normal and was even noted in the service literature at the time.

You will get far more satisfaction from the dist. rebuild than from the Pertronix. I had one in my 51 for a while and it is now sitting on a shelf. I will happily sell it to you half price. Nuf said.
