I think you have forgotten something in your consideration? The coil was different in those years #580197 vs #580416 which has now supercedes to #584477. The #580197 has gone obsolete. The theory is that the #580197 produced more spark for higher compression engines? The coil needed a different cap to protect the points as Mumbles mentions.
The low tensin ignition motors take a different type #581207 set of points, but do take the #580419 condensor to match the driver coil. Now this is the best I can speculate as to how we have reached this point with tuneup kits. I would think the #175523 kits would be in low demand today (no #580197 coils available or hard to find). Hope that helps!
