Default Switching from Pertronix back to breaker points. Question

I had “tuning” issues with my ‘63 LeMans last season, and determined the next step is to pull the distributor out and ditch the Pertronix. I had a thread going on about it back then.
My distributor guy is just going to convert it back to points, and give the distributor a good going over. My question is what will it take to go back to points after Pertronix was run? I didn’t install the Pertronix, it was on the engine when I purchased the car. Does a resistor wire need to be put back in? Are those available? This is a situation I’ve never dealt with before.
Thanks.
