It is unlikely that the permanent magnet is your WICO is weak. Furthermore, it takes a REAL magnet charger to make any improvement with such mag magnets. The typical "home brew" mag charger just won't cut it with those.
Dirty points, a bad condensor, or a weak coil are much more likely causes of a weak spark.
A conversion to Kettering ignition CAN be done by disconnecting the internal coil, then adding an external "round-can" coil. Mag condensors tend to be a little different value than "battery ignition" condensors, so it's a good idea (for long point life) to replace the mag's condensor with one that would have been used along with the external coil you choose, in it's original application.
