but im not completely understanding....http://webpages.charter.net/1bad6t/DurasparkWiringFW.gif

so on that diagram the ONLY wire that i actually got to tie into the FOX body harness is the "pink wire from the FOX body harness and that ties into the red wire from the ignition box and ties into the brownish/redish wire going to the coil??

There's not a lot to control electronically on a carb'ed motor.

Just one hot wire from ignition on is all it needs...
Don't forget your ground and tach wiring, those are useful :)

Same as an MSD box...
