Just like the rest of us have done.
There's Pertronix (three to choose from), Crane, Mallory. All good units.
Or buy the Mallory/Studebaker unit sold thru Dave Thibeault.
Or...do what I'm doing. Making a crank triggered assembly using MSD trigger wheel and the 6al box. This is as accurate as todays computer driven vehicles.

For the R2 =, it is best to recurve it to match the r2 specs. That is waht I did and it seems to work well. If you don't, it will keep advancing the timing much more and at higher rpm than spec. You are faced with the dilema of retarding it quite a bit at iddel so it does not go too far as the RPM climbs. Recurve kit is not too hard to install. I have an earlier post on how I did mine in 2012.
