BTW, I've been told by a reliable source that Powertorque coils with built-in electronic ignition module will not work on early Victa. You have to get just a plain coil that is the same fit. Then you can add an aftermarket EI module, such as Stens, and this will work! I am not sure why the PT coils with built-in module won't work, but that is what I have been told.
Having said that, I was once misinformed by a technician that a modern Briggs coil with built in E.I. will not work on early Briggs motors. Well I installed one on a very old Briggs and guess what? It worked! So we can't always believe what we are told. Sometimes people have tried and fitted something incorrectly or not made a good earth connection, or have simply purchased a faulty module. They will tell you that something won't work when it will. Only way is for a larger number of people to try so a consensus of knowledge on these things can be established.
