Default MSD box/distributor install question?????????

I'm helping one of my nieghbors put his engine in his 84' and, he recently bought a msd box for it that he wants put in, he has a msd distributor,my question is, on the new msd billet distributor, the connector is diff. than the stock one where is used to plug in, how do u wire them together,? what needs to be changed, and how exactly does any body know how to wire in the 6al. i get the basics, its just the other 2 wires that i'm not sure where they go, it's different than the efi's, they just come with a harness and that is easy as pie,? any help is greatly appriciated.
