1.8 Coils

So I'm midst 1.8 swap and would like to retain it's factory coils. Running a MS3x. The coils are 99-00 but I can't find any good guides or anything similar online. Any help is much appreciated.

I don't want to do any fabrication work or buy any brackets, I'd like to just wire in my 1.8 coils somehow and make it all work. Is there no way of doing that?

Nb coils and 1.6 coils have a different tach signal output. It’s not worth the trouble. Just use 1.6 coils than swap over to ls coils when the time comes

What about the megasquirt tachout signal that people use for the ls coils?
