Default Installing a 42-48 crab dizzy

Yall know I like my stromberg distributor but a while back when I was having issues everyone thought it was my stromberg so I bought an original crab distributor. After realizing my issue at the time was not my stromberg (it was the fuel pump) , I put the ford dizzy on the shelf. Well, now I’m bored and I want to try it (stromberg still running mostly strong but once the engine is heated up things get a little dicey and I feel like it misses a little. I’m back to wondering if it’s the stromberg.)

So, I have a few questions…

1. Where does the condenser mount? Photo?
2. Can I use my 50000 volt (or whatever the f it is) coil that I’m currently using on the stromberg or do I need something else?

I’ll post photos in a bit of what I’m working with. Another motivation for the switch is I want to run the original colored style wires. I think they look cool. Haha.
