No there is no points distributor for that year. Courtesy of the Garage Guru Consultant.
The 327 cubic inch Chevrolet's distributor had points and condenser and not an ignition module. If you have an ignition module then you have a HEI distributor that was changed out.
The distributor on a 1994 Geo Prizm does not have points. It's got an electronic ignition system. The ignition coil and module are located inside the distributor. If you're doing any testing of the distributor, be sure to replace the spark plug wires first. Defective spark plug wires will instantly burn out the coil and in some cases, the module too.
You look under the distributor cap.
A 1977 Nova should have electronic ignition and therefore wouldn't have points

In a Pre-Electronic Ignition distributor, the "Points" are opened and closed by a rotating cam. This acts as a switch turning 12v on/off to the High Voltage Coil at the proper time. In an electronic ignition, a solid state circuit (transistors) performs the switching duty, replacing the Points/Cam as a timing circuit.
Standard equipment in 1965 was points and condenser. However as an option you could order a transistorized unit for 1964,1965,1966.It came with a magnetic pulse distributor,and ignition pulse amplifier.( Rare)
electronic ignition
There are kits available which turn your old points distributor into an electronic ignition system, i have converted both my veedubs and it removes all of the guesswork & trouble from your distributor. The kit comes with instructions and is very easy to use, you basically just gut your distributor cap & put in a circuit board & boom, electronic ignition. I will post a link below. Oh, and gap your plugs at .024 inches.
When it breaks. The only thing that might break in a distributor that would make you change the distributor is the vacuum advance can. Points, condenser, rotor and electronic ignition parts break too, but you can change them.
Depends on weather your referring to a modern vehicle with a fuel injection 327, or a classic car. Depends on if points or electronic ignition . An example being a 68 Chevy 327 with points type distributor I set the gap at .035 now same engine with electronic ignition HEI distributor Icap a bit larger a max of .045
The GL1100 has electronic ignition. No points.
