Ok so the way I'm seeing it I can just in screw it cut the two wires extend them and move it back and up and just remount to fire wall. Anybody have any suggestions or help or complications I'm going to encounter. Thanks

If you are referring to the relocation of the ignition coil, I guess that would be all you need to do, however, one must ask why?

Most people do this when swapping out to a MSD ignition or the likes. Especially when going to something like this set up.

The reason to mod is to try and keep it dry its kinda in a bad spot if i hit a hole and my head lights go under that means my ignition coil just got wet. So I'm just gonna move it to the firewall instead to make sure its doesn't get wet.

Best suggestion I can give you is use good quality, low impedence wire, solder your connections and use heat-shrink tubing to seal up the splices, be smart about how you reroute the harness to keep it away from the exhaust, and make sure you don't move the coil further away from the distributor than you have plug wire for unless you plan on making your own.
What you're proposing is fundamentally very simple, just take your time and use good quality materials and everything will turn out fine. Bad things happen when you try to cut corners and use crimp-on splices that cause bad connections and allow dirt/moisture into your splice, etc. Good luck!
