I am really going to stick my head out here. Remove you old points and such. Take them to Napa or some good parts house that knows something about cars and ask for all of the same parts for a 55 to 62 235 engine. If they match, you have your parts.

I read somewhere here that points and condensers are not voltage specific. As for coils, just go to an automotive place(such as napa) and ask for a 12v coil and the ignition voltage reducer for it, otherwise you will burn the coil up. And from the past discussions, I wouldn't get the coil that is internally regulated, because they are for use on low RPM engines, such as antique tractors.
