The Ford Barn

Stupid question but I just have to ask.

I have a big Tubman "trash can" condensor for my 1941 Ford and don't know how to install it. This is a helmet distributor and the coil screws to the distributor. I think:

1. The clamp goes around the case of the condensor and uses the screw that attaches the coil to the distributor, grounding the condensor to the distributor.
2. One end of the wire attaches to the condensor post and the other end attaches to the brass tab that sticks out on the outside of the distributor.

Sound right?
