What means that the spark was orange?. What is a hoora?. How the MSD coil was wired?. Was wired to the PCM or just plugged to the connector?. What was the "thing" that you replaced?. You solve a difficult problem like P0320 code but I do not get what did you do. Did you just change the ignition coil? I would really appreciate that you help others with a more detailed answer so others could use your experience. Thank you.

An orange spark is a weak spark. A good strong spark is blue. What he meant by hoora is he was cheering over the fact that the ignition coil was the problem and that he fixed it it. The MSD ignition coil he used gets wired the same way as the OEM one, positive to positive, negative to negative, and then of course the center wire from the distributor plugs in.
