how to fit a ma12 coil into a 91 ma10 car?

Hi folks

My question is straightforward. how to fit a ma12 coil into a ma10 engine? Heard that ma12 coils deliver more current so I bought a cheap one on ebay.de. The thing is the two wires from the distributor are plugged in a ma12 and bolted in a ma10. Plus there a power transistor next to the ma12 coil that has 3 wires (red/black/ white and red).

How to make the whole thing work in my ma10 car? What's the ignition wiring between ma10 and ma12 coils?

thats probably the electronic ignition one eh, i doubt if it will give a stronger spark tbh

ok you got a point but still how would I fit it into my car? here's a link to the ma12 engine with electronic ignition.

another question: what kind of coil do early ma12 cars have (those without ECC nor cat) ? is it the same cylinder type like the ma10s or the modern one?

any pics?
