RE: change back to points
Look in one of the aftermarket parts catalogs. Most of 'em have a kit that will do it. You'll need the backing plate, possibly advance mechanism, points cam, points, condenser, and possibly another coil. Some electronic systems used a different advance mechanism, but most used the stock one. Some coils aren't suitable for a points ignition as they have too high current for the points & condenser to handle.

RE: change back to points
you will need a coil with 5.23 ohms oem replacement xref number 31609-65a many companys make these a points conversion kit and recomended a set of blue streak points and condensor simply the best and worth the extra expence also u might want too replace the ignition wires while you are at it. havent done this in a while but this was a common deal changing back too points in the past.
