Or is it a later model electronic pickup distributor. Stock or after market (Mallory etc.) If you are using an older points distributor, the negative of your coil goes to the points only, the coil makes it's ground through the points opening and closing, this is how the coil is triggered to spark. It looks like you have 12 volts going right through the coil to ground, bypassing your distributor/points. Hope this helps
