The Aldon unit for that distributor (LU143) will not fit under the sprint cap,you will have to have the alternative cap and rotor off the club stock.Or,as i have just done,get the magnetronic unit,which is smaller and will fit under the original sprint cap and rotor. :D The unit you need is the MTK007,easy to fit too.
Earth goes to the coil,positive goes direct to the fuse box,you will have to extend the positive wire to reach.Really easy to fit,if i can do it im sure you can,cost around 70-80 quid,take about an hour tops.. :D

... ~£65 a set from Jigsaw, for the Sprint, (a must if you've got an uprated coil).
