ignitor question (1980 12a sa)

hey guys and girls i have a quick question or 2

The 1980 model has a fender mounted ignition box, while the 81-85 dizzy has 2 dizzy mounted. when looking at them from the drivers side fender (looking straight down)
which one is the leading and which one is the trailing.

my buddy who does wiring is going to do DLIDFIS for me. he wanted to know which one was which, and i cant seem to find any of my books.

also he asked me to ask you guys if he could run one ignitor to a GM 2-Tower Coil Pack. instead of buying a second ingitor and a 3rd coil. ie replace one of the stock coils with one of those.

With the igniters facing you and the cables to the bottom, the left hand igniter is trailing, right is leading.

Color codes for the ignitor connector wiring: Left is BW & LY, right is BW & YG.
