You *might* be able to purchase a newer Magnetron igniton coil, but I do not know what the part number would be, would have to have the same distance between the mounting studs, Or you could buy one of these modules.
one wire goes to ground (engine block) the other ties into what would be your points wire. you cut it from the points, and splice into the wire so it goes from the new module to the coil.

Am I correct understanding I do not have to remove condenser and points, just cut wire, install new module
Correct. I just normally remove the screws holding the old module and then pull the point wire out without removing anything else. If you decide to remove the points and condensor most of the kits come with the plug that you drive into the point plunger hole to seal it.
You might like to hear my project- I have a "king-o-lawn "edger was my dads about a 1959 year built. I semi restored it a few years back, and still use it. I ran across a "king o lawn" reel mower for cheap, and want to get it running, and restored, just to match the edger- probably wont use on my large lawn, but thought would be fun little project
