There should be some threads on this topic here, try a search on Duraspark. I recall reading many Ford wiring harnesses have connectors for the different systems, that way they didn't need to stock as many different ones.
The full wiring diagrams are too crowded sometimes, or too many variations. There's some more simplified diagrams in there where they discuss and test the duraspark systems. I'm planning a swap to a point system at some point
so hopefully I won't need to worry about much of that.

This link has a section on using a module for a chevy and making the vehicle HEI ignition. I have this and it works very well, plus it is cheap and simple!
