Did your HEI dizzy come with any instructions? The one I have on my 460 did. I can't help much with advice, since I'm also using a universal wiring harness with a dedicated and marked "coil" power wire. You can look up the wiring diagrams in the haynes manual and find what color wire powers your coil. then you can remove all the other 'junk' like the ignition module used on the old DuraSpark II igniton in your 82 Bronco.

I ran across this link to the HEI install while looking for other stuff. It's for a Jeep, but has some good info in general:
