Convert Polaris Cobra to CDI?

So I bought this '79 Polaris Cobra with no spark. After an hour of farting around I've got pretty good spark on the mag side but nothing on the PTO side. For awhile I had iffy spark on the PTO side...
I'm going to mess with it some more and I'm reasonably confident I can get spark on both sides but I really hate points, theres a reason everybody switched to CDI.

The sled has an EC34PM-04 engine which I see was made at least through 1980 and never seems to get CDI.

Anyway has anyone ever retrofitted CDI to an old Polaris? I'd rather not reinvent the wheel but if I have to I'll do what I gotta do.

You will need stator, flywheel, trigger coil, wiring harness, and cdi-coil pack.

Yeah, I figured that.
Figure the whole stator plate, flywheel, wiring, cdi box and coil(s). I guess if I get the whole stator plate that should include the trigger.

Not necessarily will it be included, unless you specifically ask for it.

Yeah, best bet would be to find a blown motor and transfer parts I think.
