For best results you can replace the coils but you do not need to.
I am assuming dyna S here.
Also, $100 is not worth the labor. It is not that hard to put in. You take off the points plate but leave the advancer on. Pull the wiring for the coils off. Run the wiring for the dyna up and connect it. The only issue is a wire you are supposed to connect with a cheap plastic connector. Best bet is to remove a small bit of insulation and splice the wire in.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
