Maybe change to the older Ford Duraspark ignition system.  They are apparently fairly inexpensive and abundant, though finding one in Italy may be a problem.  Maybe you could find a distributor and module on ebay.

I put a Pertronix module in my 66/289 over ten years ago and never had a problem. I used a stock distributor, Pertronix wires and Pertronix Blaster coil.  I replaced the pink resister wire to the coil with non resistive wire ( plane old piece of wire). No EFI. Edelbrock carb and manifold.

You're going to have many questions and potential issues with that efi system.
If you haven't done so already, best initial advice is go to the sniper efi form and do a lot of reading and searching first. I say to do that first because if you ask a question that's been addressed multiple times already, there are a couple of really crusty dudes that will reply unkindly. They aren't as friendly as FYIFORD!

Most problems are due to not following the initial set up process so, again, read and research this carefully.

I considered purchasing that efi system but, it seemed more problematic then I was willing to deal with.

Of course, your results may vary.

Good luck...

First , thanks for all help ... really appreciate ., yes , you are right , have spend days and night looking for info on holly forum and e mail also . i 'm sorry to ask again same questions , but i can't know it before .   Second : holley gives many application , but with old ford , is more complicated if want use oem distributor . When i bought sniper efi thought was "plug and play " with nothing to add , and is not . Was basic knowing it before ... There are many add to choose , and this create a cascade of question and doubts for and which , what is necessary or not . Sniper efi instruction don't even shows a ford application with oem distributor . So that my doubts . Need a new distributor ? Which one ? Holley hyperspark ? is enough or need also coil driver and ignition module ? Same question for holley dual sync distributor and msd /mallory / etc . This variable "add on " provide from 100 to 500 usd budget + 30% tax . Just the half of sniper basic kit . So instead of 1000 i need to spend other money to let it work . This really upset me .
i want run sniper efi without add other stuff but seems impossible on ford . The odd thing is that : if you already have pertronix pointerless inside your distributor this  don't work with efi system and need to go with basic point and condenser. that' s funny and tragic . Old ford pink wire ballast resistor has great influence in all this story. ..    money money money...  they don't grow on my garden trees ...

I can't imagine the Sniper will not work with a stock distributor and Pertronix.  My FiTech FI has no problem that way.  But others should chime in here.  I do not know.

For what i can understand the magnetic pick up comes in different ways  " sine wave " and square signal . this is the main difference from pertronix , that is sine wave . This input is low at idle and seems  not welcome to sniper efi
Holley knows perfectly this issue regards RFI and ecu  . That's why they prefer "hall effect trigger " because this eliminate a variety of issue that regards pertronix and set up
The issue of burning ecu seems related to yellow wire to coil -   handheld set up need to be corrected with this related specs. . 
what i found helpful was one guy that set the handheld with " coil " instead of "magnetic " . He sayd that works ! . 

Again holley do not have any interest to magnetic , they prefer sell hyperspark and other stuff .. 

There is Huge documentation regards sniper efi , needs time and know how !   

I think Holley should be more clear about  trigger choice ( this is the main thing) . 
Many years passing by so i am waiting a brief that told newbie : do this  and   don't do that . 
When choice are multiple ( distributor and ignition )  holley should be more clear and write " sniper efi for dummies".
