Default Need help now* please (simple question about MSD Blaster)

I just installed a new engine and the previous owner installed a msd blaster SS coil along with this, the owner also installed a mallory stutter box. I just dropped a new engine in and there is no spark. I looked online for an installation manual for the ss coil but no luck. I do not have an msd ignition. Just a coil and cap, and mallory studderbox. Im willing to bypass the mallory unit provided I get the damn car running.
Now, there are 2 wires coming off of the distributor, red and green. I'm assuming the green wire is the rpm output. The red wire has 12v power when I checked it but im not really sure of its purpose. It seems to go to the mallory crap. On the blaster coil, there are 3 wires, plug wire that goes to the coil, and two other wires. When checking with a volt meter, they both have 12v power. Ahhhhhh someone tell me what the deal is or how to manually wire up the blaster coil. I don't know where the wires should go. thanks for any quick responses given.

Msd has 6 wires.

Thick Red - battery (+)
Thick Black - ground
Thin Red - goes to pos of internal coil (take internal coil out)
Thin White - goes to neg of internal coil
Thin Orange - goes to pos of external coil
Thin Black - goes to neg of external coil

This is not an msd ignition. This is an MSD Blaster SS Coil. You dont have to have an msd ignition to run this coil. If anyone knows what sources the 2 wires on this coil need, please tell me. Thanks

you have to disconnect the stock coil and connect a longer wire to reach the new coil, then you gotta have a modified distributor cap to connect the external coil to it
