Buick-Petronix dizzy and an MSD 6A control unit\coil are what I'd think of first.

I just put the MSD 6A on my truck with a Blasster 2 coil and I love it. It made a big difference in how the truck starts, idles, and revs. The higher RPMs are so much stronger now, the thing just pulls.
As for the Pertronix unit, I know they get a lot of good reviews, but the one I got was defective. I ended up going with a new OEM dist. and now my ignition is spot on.

I've attached a pic of my setup. Let me know if you want the specifics, there are a few writeups/youtube videos about it. I would also recommend some Champion copper plugs (not platinum or anything fancy). I opened the gaps to ~0.042 (stock is ~0.036) and bumped the timing to 12 degrees advanced. The performance gains were noticeable, but it's still no Porsche. Still, I feel better about merging onto the highway or overtaking on a 2 lane road. Too early to tell, but my fuel economy could improve too.
The MSD and new coil accounted for some of that, but a lot had to do with getting the thing tuned in just right. Adjust the timing and spark gap until it behaves the way you want it.
