Duraspark 2 conversion help

Ok..i know this is been done till blue in the face..but...i'm converting from a points system. I got the durspark 2 distributor and the harness and the box with the blue grommet. Now...i've looked at diagrams..but I cannot read wiring diagrams for the life of me....I know where the distributor and the coil hook up...but other than that..I have no idea what goes and plugs in where. Also...is my oil pressure and water temp supposed to be hooked up through this???? Because the harness I have doesn't alott for those..like i said..i'm going from a points system and i'm COMPLETELY lost...any help would be appreciated...and again..sorry
-Jesse

Here is the link to your original thread where you asked these questions. I listed out all the connections, and also showed a wiring diagram for reference.

Can you describe which connection is causing you trouble? In that thread, I have listed which signals from the truck go to where in the Duraspark system. Please let me know if something needs re-explained.

The ballast resistor is shown in the diagram; yes it is needed. It's also described in my original response.
