Wiring up a 6AL with an HEI dizzy

Hey guys,

Im doing a decent amount of mods to my 86 T/A (L69 4bbl), one being all MSD ignition. I'm re-using the stock HEI distributor, i bought an MSD rebuild kit for it, and a performance Accel module. Along with an MSD 6AL and wires. I was curious if there's any specific way i should wire the box with the original wiring, Most likely not, i just want to know for sure before i get to installing it.

Thanks alot,
