Kenneth, its your tractor n money n your choice, however, I can tell ya for sure an electronic igniiton has the capacity to produce more spark gap energy (plus a wider hotter spark) across the plugs gap to better ignite the fuel PERIOD. If youre gonna keep it a while n use it routinely, the elec ignition investment should pay for itelsf over the long run versus having to buy new points n condensor fairly often (depending on use).

ALSO theres less moving mechanical parts to wear out ESPECIALLY over an outdated cumbersome limited energy Magneto Ignition with its mechanical spring wind n trip impulse assembly plus the usual points n condensor wear as on a distributor ignition. Its true you cant do a jury rig field fix if she stops like filing the points BUTTTTTTTT once an electronic device burns in they can last a long timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. One magneto advantage, however, is they can start without any battery which that elec ignition sure requires

COIL NO you can use your existing coil BUTTTTTTTTTTTT to get the most bang for the buck that elec switch has to offer I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU MATCH IT UP WITH A COMPATIBLE HIGH ENERGY COIL (like a Flamethrower) to get a wider hotter higher energy spark to better ingiite the fuel. Since that high voltage high energy coil has the capacity to fire at higher voltages, you can increase the spark plugs gap (maybe 0.035 to 0.045 or so versus 0.020 to 0.030) to get that wider hotter spark mentioned above you cant get using the old stock coil. There is some advanatge even with the stock coil due to the faster n more positive coil current soild state switching versus mechanical burning n bouncing n ringing points n condensor buttttttttttt you get more energy plus can run a wider gap if using the high voltage high energy coil.

So pay your money n now make your choice
