Sorry, can't help you there, Bob, except to say that when doing this sort of
mis-match (the GM module is probably designed to work with an HEI coil,
meaning GM warns against using a standard coil with it), it might be best to
follow the advice of the people supplying the conversion.  MSD 8202 is their
"Blaster" coil, which should be readily available and not too expensive.  I
believe 8203 is the same coil, packaged with a ballast resistor (which you
don't need), and available in chrome instead of red.
