If I'm not mistaken, isn't it the same as a 6AL box? One for the distributor, one for the coil, one for power and one for ground? Or something like that?

I got the pdf of the different installs but was hoping for more of a direct instructions. That year has points i believe. Friend of mones said if i could turn his truck on be will paint my truck for free. It has fuel just no spark.

I have a spare street fire that i want to use to bypass all if the OE ignition system

So why not get it running with the points first. Sounds like the dizzy condenser or broken dizzy ground wire inside the dizzy. Set the points at .017.
Also these trucks are known for bad ign switches to. The starting circuit is what goes bad so by-pass it by hot wiring it.

You can try to hot wire it to see if it will start by running a small jumper wire from the + side of the Battery to the +side of the coil then still use the key to start it..

I'm with orich, if you want to start it, it's gonna be easier to keep the points. But new ones if you have to. They're only a couple bucks.
