someone help....please

So this is the distributor I want to use in my tbi to carb swap.
Jegs distributor
But the only thing I havent been able to find is how you wire the ignition module. It has wires coming out the side of it, but what does that plug into? Anybody know what im talking about. Unfortunatly im not familiar with the tbi cars and the car is 100 miles away from me right now, so, sorry if its a stupid question.

Those wires plug right into the cap. The only external things you need to attach to that distributor is 12 volts and your tach wire. Pretty simple.

TBI uses an external (remote) coil type, while the Jegs unit is integral coil-in-cap. The power and tach wires needed for the Jegs unit currently go to your coil. Any other wires currently going to/from your distributor will not be needed.

Except for the spark plug wires, of course. You will need them . . .

Ah...I see. Yeah, I found a pic showing those wires in the cap. I feel kinda stupid that i didnt know that, but im used to working on the tpi cars. Oh well, thanks for the clarification.
