When "restoring" a vintage car how does one handle the ignition system? It seems a more faithful
restoration would leave the original ignition components intact. But, OTOH, switching to modern

My personal take: If you are restoring for value and resale, original,
original, original to whatever extent is possible. If you are restoring
for your own enjoyment, do what you want but do not modify anything that
cannot be fairly readily restored to original.
