An MSD-6AL is a sinch to hook up. You're not going to get anything out of a blaster 2 unless you increase the voltage to the coil. Which is the main thing the 6A/6AL does. At below 3k rpms, it puts out multiple sparks. But, after 3k, it only puts out 1 spark at a very increased voltage. The only thing I see a Blaster 2 coil benefiting you without the 6A/6AL is shorter recharge time.

I did a write up on installing a 6A box on my SOHC. The 6A and 6AL are exactly the same only the 6AL has a limiter function (hence the "L")

Nope, it's only 2 wires. At least it should be. Make sure you're not looking at the ignitor (P# 22020N in your diagram). It sits less than an inch away from the coil and if I remember corectly, IT has 3 wires. Coils have a positive and negative only.
