Should have one 'hot' wire coming in to the switch on one terminal, and 1 wire on the other terminal, to the resistor, and then to the coil.

I'm at work and don't have one to look at, but from memory I think the two are even labeled for you, probably "B" and "I" at least, so you can do it exactly like Henry did.
Don't discard the original contact plate...from what I've seen I'd clean up the contacts and keep it in preference to the repros I have bought.
