Just picked up a coil and heat sink bracket from the yard. Was wondering what's are my options for getting a coil wire to work with the stock coil and the mopar dist cap.
It's the kind with a skinny prong down in the hole.

I used the same coil wire that I was using with the points set up. Not ideal but my car runs good.

I removed the "skinny" GM terminal and then recrimped it onto my coil wire. It is working just fine.

+1 I just took the coil wire and cut as much wire as I could get to for both plugs from the donor vehicle.

One of my HEI, setups, I ordered wires from Magnecore, and told them the length and ends I wanted on the coil wire.
The other, got the ends and length of wire from NAPA, and crimped, myself.

I ended up using a piece of I believe solid core scat plug wire. Used used ends from the gm wire and mopar wire. Works fine. My buddy has enough spare pieces to do a full set of plug wires.
Hei is on and works.
