Can you explain a bit.?

1 side screws into distributor and the othe side of the Coil goes where?

starter terminal (aka battery)

clipping it on acts like turning the ign switch on so clip it on and start it up - dont leave it hooked up when not running! disconnect it with the engine running to shut the engine off.

If you use this method ground the generator output or it will try to charge nothing and cook itself

Hot side of battery (red wire with clip) to coil, other side of coil to distributor. Distributor to movable side of points. Stationary side of points grounded to engine. Engine to ground side of battery.
