the 1.5 is probably points ignition, if so swap the 1.5 distributor over and probably a couple other bits n bobs over it should run fine, you'll need to keep the carb though the 1.5 inlet wont fit the 1.6 head.
if you wanted to run it on electronic ignition (Id recommend you try) then you need a coil, spark module and the wiring loom between them. you may need to run an ignition live for the coil as well, if your coil live is purple/white then its a resistance type wire and wont work for electronic carb
