If you used the term "dana" you will get nothing. Try searching with the word "dyna" instead. There are numerous posts covering this. It will be quicker than waiting for someone to post

Also go threw the research on this websight, to explain the mod. In MOST situations it is not necessary and will not do anything for you. If you have 12+volts going to the coils while the engine is running you do not require the mod. It will not do anything for you except complicate things. Also many times, if you have below 12 volts at the coils just feel the electrical connections in the ignition system If they are warm or HOT they need to be cleaned or replaced and that will do the same thing. The so called WG modification performs no other function than bi-pases these connections.

Basic purpose of coil mod is to provide a more direct route from battery+ to the coil primaries, thereby finessing some of the oem wiring and connectors.
Where the oem wiring is conducting as designed, full battery+ voltage is already reaching the coil primaries, so there's nothing to be gained by using the mod.
Both DynaS pickups and points simply unground the coil primary windings, which fires the coil, then re-ground the coil primary windings to re-charge the coil, etc., etc.
The left set of points, or the left-hand DynaS pickup, grounds and ungrounds the coil which fires outside spark plugs #1 and #4. Perhaps a black wire to the coil primary terminal.
The right set of points, or the right-hand DynaS pickup, grounds and ungrounds the coil which fires inside spark plugs #2 and #3. Perhaps a green wire to the coil primary terminal.
The ground/unground wires from points or DynaS are sometimes called "signal" wires. They are irrelevant to whether or not the full battery+ voltage is reaching the coils.
It's really easy to use a dc voltmeter to determine whether or not full battery voltage is reaching the coils.
Good Fortune!
