Kit would be points and condensers.Coils would be extra.
No need to replace the coils if they appear undamaged.
Bad coils are usually discolored and cracked.

Crack's are not alway's a true indication of coil condition. They can have a internal break, or short that only a power test can detect. Those crack's you see on early coil's are the result of early epoxy curing. As these early coating's dried, they also shrunk, thus cracked. I have seen on this board, people see'ing crack's on a coil surface, and replacing them all. They do that because someone said they should. How many on this board have a Steven's coil tester, or access to one?

The reason, I want to replace tune up kit, because when I cheaked the spark

I saw only spark on top cylinder, not on the bottom one. I could had done it
wrong though. I pull plug out and attached a boot on it then pressed against the block, while having other person turning a key.

Is that right way to do it? Thank you.

Well that is a good way to fool yourself into thinking it is ok if you see sparks. Otherwise it is meaningless. You should rig up a 1/4" spark gap and see if it will jump that. However, you said there was no spark at all on one cylinder--there is no doubt on that one. Something is wrong.
