Installing pertronix ignitor

I am trying to install a pertronix ignitor in my 73T(mfi).

The car has the stock Permatune CD box and bosch coil.

Doe anyone have experience with this upgrade?
How do I wire the ignitor to the Permatune box?
Do I need to upgrade the coil?

Anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks, in advance.

Red wire goes to ignition switch +12v. Should be available on your engine fuse panel, bottom fuse. Black wire goes where the points used to connect.

Be aware -

- Instructions on some ignitor models are incorrect and tell you to connect to the coil. That doesn't work for CDI
- Make sure you get the little wheel seated properly
