Default help hooking up a street fire ignition.

i traded for a new msd street fire ignition. new in box with a installation diagram on rear of box. anyone hooked one up with an hei before? my hei has one power wire and that's it. i see the full time hot wire and ground for the box. i guess the ignition wire is self explanatory.. i guess what has me confused is the orange wire (positive on coil) and black wire (negitive on coil). my coil is built in on my hei? do i have to splice into the under cap connections? not looking for performance gains with this thing, just wanted the rev limiter and the multi spark for starting and cruising benifits.
thanks
gerald

Did you get the instructions in the box?
If not, here is a link to the instructions (if I guessed at the right box)
