I was intimidated with the conversion at first as well. Once I got to doing it, though, it was actually pretty simple.

The points trigger is fascinating and, even though it worked, it took me some time to get the logic. For sure, later Columbias used magnet embedded caps on the end of the cam to trigger the ignition:

All the points do in the conversion is take the place of the magnets. They start the spark process but don't determine when spark is delivered as the HEI module does that.
