I don't know what you mean when you say points and condensor troubles. Are you talking about normal wear, or are you changing your points several times a year? You can plan on spending a little over $100 to convert to electronic ignition. Figure out how many point changes you will need to make to pay for that. Also, it is best that you convert to 12 volts for electronic ignition. Some systems are available for 6 volts, but once you purchase your electronic system, you are locked in to whatever you have.

On the plus side: Once you install electronic ignition, it is virtually maintenance-free. You get a slightly hotter spark, too. The engine stays in tune much longer.

One last consideration: If you are burning through lots of points, your coil may be your problem. This will need to be corrected, no matter what system you decide to go with.
