Exclamation Looking for help on wiring electronic distributor

working on retrofitting a 1970 Ford F-250 with a later model's electronic distributor and ignition system that came from a 77-78. I'm having a lot of trouble with the wiring as I'm not sure where things are going. Does anyone have a wiring diagrams for these or at least draw me a guide.

Thanks yo in advance if you can help me asap.

What does being a girl have to do with it?
Here's what I'd do, simple and works great. Make sure to use the TFI style coil.

Dunno...maybe gender politics... 'hope she can read a wiring diagram.

OR.... her significant other asked her to post the request thinking it would make a difference.

Thanks HIO Silver, elgemcdlf, & willowbilly3 for the help on that, the diagrams and links really did help a lot. Yes I can read the diagrams just fine.
And No my significant did not tell me to post this. LOL I didn't really meant for the "girl" part to be anything out of the ordinary. I was just simply stating that I was a female for a generic fyi; force of habit. So used to having to tell people i'm a girl cuz they think i'm a guy.

once again thanks for the really quick replies.

Yes, I have it on a 300 six for about 4 years now. It starts fist pop in any weather and never had an issue although the parts store (carquest) module cause me a little concern because I think no aftermarket parts are ever as good as OEM.
