    MSD makes a modified distributor cap kit for this application. Basically you just open up your distibutor and remove your stock internal coil. Extended the two wires going to the original coil and connect those to the respective positive and negative terminals on the external coil. The MSD kit comes with a length of spark plug wire that you have to assemble depending on what type of terminal your external coil has. So just cut the wire to the desired length and attach the terminals with the tool included in the kit.
    The spark plug wire connects from the external coil to the tower on the MSD cap. That's about it, just make sure you mount the external coil close enough so that the spark plug wire reaches with some slack. Hope this helps.
