I've checked the Chilton manual but have'nt found the answer, can't really be that complicated?

HEI distributors are stand alone, there should be a small wiring harness on it to connect to the cap, all u need is a hot wire to feed the battery connection and a wire that connects to ur tach

Yes, but we are not using any of the original wiring harness...
I guess it would work with a batteri + and ignition module output "Trigger" for ground?
