You haven't looked inside your distributor cap? You'll notice-No points. And the ignition module is a metal box located in the passenger side kick panel above the fusebox. 74 was also the first year that the fuse box was located there instead of in the console.

It already has an ignitor and a hotter coil when compared to a points ignition. If you're talking about an aftermarket distributor and coil that would depend on how the car is used. If you're not racing, the stock setup is more than adequate. It's basically the same system used through 78 but there were slight revisions through the years. In 79 they went to the E12-80 matchbox type with the smaller module on the distributor instead inside the car. My 78 280z has the earlier electronic ignition and my 79 810 has the E12-80. I haven't had problems with either of them.
