Briggs PN 793281 which has been superseded to 591420. This kit includes the plug for plugging the point activator port. See image below.

please provide the date code as this may require more research. The type number (0144) is early in the production of this engine model. I checked the parts breakdown and engines built prior to Dec 31, 1962 were equipped with a 4 screw ignition coil. The later electronic coils are designed with two mounting screws.

An update, the engine M/N 080202 TYPE 0144 and CODE 6509283 and it uses 2 screws to attach the magneto. Thanks

The 2 bolt solid state, Magnetron, are very common. If you don't mind used parts grab one off a junk mower.
