Electronic ignition coil for older briggs 5 hp

[myrjoel]

I got a free 5 hp briggs off an old lot vacume that has been sitting outside for a long time has no spark. Engine was made in 1980. I was wondering what model # of coil to use to upgrade to electronic ignition? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

if you use a coil without points, make sure to leave the pivioting point, and plunger in place,or plug that hole, otherwise you will lose oil.

good luck!
