Default Small Cap Distributor Conversion ?

I have an 85 and I'm installing a SuperRam. I'm also trying to convert to the F-body style small cap distributor. I know I need to get an external coil, but thats about all I know.
My questions are:
#1 I have the harness connection for the small cap, can it be spliced into my harness?
#2 What else do I need to do to hook up the coil?
#3 Am I fogeting anything?

Jim @ Jims Performance can furnish a 'pigtail' that adapts the stock wiring harness to the small cap distributor. He can also tailor it to fit what ever brand of coil you decide to use.

I believe it was around $40 for the plug n play harness.
