Default Ignition upgrade

I am planning on doing an igniton upgrade and have a few things planned, but are unsure about them.

First since my car has internal coils, I need to buy a coil coversion cap and ----, im getting the crane one. I tried this before, with the extrenal coils, but I wasnt running a cdi ignition, so maybe thats why it didnt work correct??

Then I need external coils and do I need to run a CDI ignition too? I know alot of you guys have done this, so gimme some input...

DOnt waste you money on external coil caps, make one. I have done this for ages either using the MSD Power tower or buy a cheap spark plug 1.00, a bolt .50, and some chunk of plasic to inulate.
Here is instructions:

You end up saving a CHUNK of change and I have done it on cars from 88-98!

I did that before, with the msd cap and used a nology ext coil, and ---- got all fucked up, the wires from the int coil became exposed and blew out my fuses, and ruined my coil pack and fucked up my idle...
