Slant Six vs. Small block ignition questions

Awesome! I was pretty sure the coil and ballast were the same, wasn't sure about the box. I've got some V8 stuff here so all I need is the wiring harness and I'm good to go (already have a /6 electronic distributor too). I was about to spend some money on the parts, but now I can just use the stuff I have with this little bit of information. I've never owned a slant 6 until the other day....looking forward to learning about it. Thanks a lot guys.
