One of the three 120s I've owned had the original coil and switch converted, the first one, which was a '67. Spindly brass key, STRONG springs in the (adequately lubed)switch mechanism. I had broken two keys and been stranded miles from home by that time.
I hacked through the armored cable for the original wiring, mounted a nondescript coil and a generic switch with a threaded bezel that clamped it through the original hole in the dash.
If there had been a kit to mount a starter pushbutton, I would have used it in a heartbeat.

No problem with my '65 or '66.
