Ignition Setting-Up

I'm just about ready to drop the 455 in and hook everything up. It has an HEI distributor (with the coil and module inside the cap),
so I was wondering, what hooks up to the distributor to make it and the coil work?

If you can get any detailed pics of your or someone elses HEI setup, that would help me out alot. I don't know what all I need to hook my ignition up. I don't know what goes where. Please help!

Same as last post on the subject....

Switched 12 V (pink wire) to the Batt terminal, and tach wire to the Tach terminal. That's it. Gotta be the simplest thing to wire that's ever been invented.

That's all, then it will crank as long as its got fuel, and the starter is hooked up?
