Stop in for a cup of coffee

Ok so, I have another non running car that i want to hotwire and drive today.

It has electronic ignition.

So can I just put a points distributor in and hotwire the coil?? Or would I need to change the ballast to a points ballast???

If all the electronic stuff is intact, just run a b+ jumper to + side of coil. Check for spark.
