Default engine scope

I can loan an old sun engine scope to check ignition on my car. However this is a HEI and the scope has a pickup that normally attaches to the primary lead from coil to dizzy. How is this done on an HEI ?

Anyone ?

The primary lead goes to the TACH terminal on the HEI. THe coil pickup is also different. The SUN adapter is white and sets over the coil on top of the cap instead of the normal inductive coil pickup.
