Yes it will work. I believe that running the 6al with an external coil also eliminates the need for the factory igniter(I just replaced mine cost $122 at the dealer).

You need an MSD Pro-Cap with external coil wire. Remove your internal coil then run your MSD Box wires into your distributor, there is are two wires from the MSD box that needs to connect to the positive and negative leads from your existing internal coil. Next, run the other two wires from your box to your external coil. I'm not near my car so I can't look to see which color wires go where, but your instructions will tell you or you can just look off your friend's car.
