I'll get around to writing a tech tip on the procedure, hopefully soon.

The GM HEI module is mounted remotely, even under the dash away from engine heat and weather concerns. A fancy coil isn't needed- - - -just a MOPAR or Ford electronic ignition item that resembles a stock stovebolt coil will work as long as it has the right primary winding resistance (about 0.5 Ohms). Right now I'm dealing with some family medical issues that have me pretty much limited on shop time and other projects. There is some machining and fabrication involved that might be a little beyond the backyard tinkerer's capabilities.
