Are you asking if you can rewire a devorced coil hei to coil in cap ? The answer is yes. But some tbi manifold use a larger distributor base so the distributor might not fit.

I have no idea what your factory wire colors are . But here is a schematic showing the large coil in cap distributor.
Here is a testing procedure for the pu coil. If the coil is ok the icm can be found on eBay for cheap to get you by until you get a better quality ac delco or Borg Warner ect..
