Get a HEI dist, w/all the guts and a dist cap w/the coil which will go in the top of the cap along w/the plug wires. To install is just like replacing the stock point dist. THIS VIDEO should help you even though it is for a V8 w/installing. Cost?? You can find them they on ebay using "chevy 6 distributor" in the search BUT be sure NOT to get a 2.8 or 4.3 V6 dist. they will NOT work, or at your local boneyard or parts house. THIS site may help you.

Make sure you remove the resistor wire for your old coil. with nowhere to go the power can make that wire melt along with all the wires around it and maybe your truck.
