The only thing you need to make the coil work is a hot (+) wire connected to the "+" side of the coil along with the black wire with stripe from the distributor. Connect the blue wire from the distributor to the "-" side of the coil. That is the only wire you should have on the "-" side unless you are running a tach. If you are taking your hot wire from the ignition switch, make sure the wire stays hot when in the cranking position.
