Gotta second the why...... Most of the time you want to get rid of the points for electroic... Easiest would be to swap the dizzy (instead of tearing it apart) and wire the power wire from the coil to a keyed power source. (only has power when the key is in the on and start position) not acc. All the brain system can be removed. Or left there for when you decide to put the electronic back on.

Maybe he likes living in the pre-historic ages?

Points are so outdated why would you possibly want to switch back?

I'd say you're going backwards but...that's up to you.
