I start with total magneto didassembly & removal. Clean the mag plate including the block mating surface. Try fitting the plate on the block without any lube to see how good thw fit is. Remember from block to plate IS an electrical connection, too loss equals bad commection weak spark & reversing currents. Do the OMC coil conversion, your old voils+ headaches, Match electricalls the capacitors (condensers) to the OMC coils. Take apart pints assemblys one at a time & ckeck for all insulating washers & bushings, clean very well. Now the points contact area. Clean & sand contct surface flat & clean. Ive used a burnishing tool to add material to contact area to fill any voids. This tool has been used in electronic relays contact surface restoation adds material to contacts. Lools like a big pen with insertable material for metal transfer. Can be found ay electronics mail order sites on line. Check assembly with an ohm meter for faults & no resistance connections. Last if you need hi voltage spark plug wire go to your local neon shop & buy G.T.O. gas tube only type wire, it replaces plug wire at 7mm/ rated at 15,000 volts. use hi flex type GTO, can be had for  a buck a foot. NO SHIPOPING TOO. If still have problems add a small bonding wire from under the mag to the block for a super bonding connection. Ive had to add this bonding wire before on a mag because it had a current reverse & fried the other points, got so hot they turned gold.
