Can't this be answered by looking at the wiring diagram?

Seems like its time to dust off the multi-meter.
All you need is 12V + for the coils; the power from the hot side of the resistors will give you that. Ignore the third resistor... or trace it to find out what it does.... or do what I would do and unplug it and look for the non-working part
I'm assuming you're going direct fire? Wire up the HEI's or whatever you want to ignite the coils with the latter model distributer.

^^^^ t_g_farrell does an excellent job of explaining direct fire here.

Finished with the swap got all the info i needed reading old threads good stuff. The car is driving very nice much better than points only weak spot is not the best idle with the weber but once you are going is perfect. Will tidy up the wires when im happy everything is in order.
