Yeah, those NorthEast point have been expensive for many years and are harder and harder to find. There have been several sets on Ebay over the last year at about $100 a set, and of course you need two sets. Assuming your 33 has the standard NorthEast dual-coil, dual point and double-ended rotor ignition with a four-lobe distributor cam for 8 cylinders, I'd guess you'd need dual electronic ignitions. A much easier and cheaper way is to just convert the distributor to use dual Chrysler points by just making a couple of little adapter plates. Max Merritt sells a kit based on a paper I published years back, buy the kit from him or send me a PM with your email and I'll send you the the procedure.
