Revising the ignition, check me please

Been a while since I last posted. Howdy everyone.

My A15 Midget is doing all right. I have long wanted to upgrade the ignition. I have the "matchbox" distributor. It is old and has never been adjusted or upgraded. Does the job. But I do worry about the plastic bearing plate as well as the non-upgradable module. So I recently bought a rebuilt Hitachi D4F external box dizz to use with a GM HEI-style 4 pin module (like I have done with the Ford Duraspark dizz). So, the plan is to use it with these parts:

Low resistance coil (Pertronix 45011 Coil black (oil filled) 0.6 ohm) without ballast resistor

PerTronix D72000 Flame-Thrower HEI III GM 4-Pin Module w/ Multi-Spark/ Rev-Limit

PRIMARY GOAL:
1) A good dizz that is mechanically within spec and can be easily recurved to better work with my cam and is stable at 6000+ RPMs.
2) Powerful, reliable spark that is stable at 6000+ RPMs.
3) Rev control without bulk or extra modules.

SECONDARY GOAL:
Getting the carbs tuned to match the engine and might allow me to rev over 5500 cuz this thing should do that but does not quite make it now.

TERTIARY GOAL: Win the lottery. Admittedly off-topic here.

Before I go and order the coil & module I just want to check that this plan is sound and these parts are appropriate.
