so what it needs is specifically the ignition coils, the points and the
condenser?


Don't change them blindly, the contact points are service items, the
condensors & coils should be examined & tested using the proper
equipment (Stevens, Merc-O-Tronic, etc.). If the coils have
broken/cracked jackets, don't bother testing, just replace. This is a
common failure on older OMC's. If you can't test the condensors,
replace with new as long as you have the flywheel off.
