3F Carby Landcruiser Delco 808

Hi guys ive been reading quite a fair bit on the website through the conversion threads and found a heap of great information as I am new to playing with efi.
Im kind of getting a bit confused of which is the best way to go for my conversion hardware wise. As I would like to buy all the right gear the first time and not trial and error. So im kind of after a hardware list to buy.
As the topic says I have a 80 series landcruiser that runs a 3f carby engine with points distributor which is very similar to the old 202s with points. I want to convert it to efi for reliability and more power(turbo once its converted). I have just got a 808 ecu which i will be sending off to VL400 for the usb and nvram mods to be done. I have already started drawing my new intake manifold and exhaust manifold which ill fabricate at work.
So my questions are what is the best ignition system to get going on this? Everyone talks about camira ignition modules but i cant find any in our local wreckers. Is the bosch ignition module (BIM148) the same thing? Or would it be easier and better to use a MSD 6AL instead as I have a mate i can get one easily? And does the distributor still need modification if i use the 6AL?
Would you guys recommend using the standard 3f mechanical fuel pump to feed a surge tank (small chassis rail mounted) which then connects to efi pump to fuel rail then regulator and back to the surge tank. Apparently this has been done before.
Also injector size guys. I was looking at 60lb injectors but worried it might be overkill. I only every plan to run 8-10psi max on this car. Does anyone know which connector type is used on the VN commodore loom? Are they EV1?
Any info on the above would be really appreciated.
Cheers
Andrew
