Magnum Coil Wiring
Interesting you should bring that coil up - it was one of my considerations for my own HEI swap. It'd work, but I believe the primary resistance is higher than a GM HEI or Ford TFI coil, and may give similar performance to a can-style coil. I'm no great expert on this, so I can't say for sure - only that it's more or less what I've been able to ascertain from the reading that I've put in.
Wound up going with a Ford TFI coil on my HEI swap for that reason (and you could probably adapt one to that Magnum bracket), though I have yet to actually run it to see how it does. Have to do the exhaust first. Excuse the messy wires; that has been taken care of since.
