I installed a 123Ignition on a 1958 with the stock 6v coil by connecting the power side to the fusebox to a fuse that gets switched power and installing a
starter button.

The starter button is needed because all of the fuses with switched power lose power when the starter is activated when using the stock coil assembly and ignition switch.

You can install a diode and tap into the the starter wire to supply power to the 123Ignition ala IPD when cranking, but I prefer the starter button method.
