Would it essentially become a "middle man" between the points and the coil? Remove the condenser, connect a lead from the points (in which you could then not worry about gap but just ensure that your points break at where the dot on the flywheel is) and take that lead from the points to the Negative side of this module - and send the positive side to the coil?

... am I thinking of this correctly? or am I out to lunch still...
I am curious how you made out with this? I am now just starting a rebuild project on a 1974 HD Model D. Would appreciate an update if possible.
