Ok I see I don’t need that resistance wire anymore that the original coil had!
I ran the pink wire straight from the firewall to the BATT plug on the distributor and we are firing up tight away now! Whooo thanks.

I put some new gas in it too, at times(80%) idle seems smooth and stepping on the gas quick is spot on!
The other 20% of the time, sounds like it’s misfiring and if I quickly step on the gas, it will bog down.

Only had it on for a few minutes before I stopped working on it.
I will see tomorrow if the new gas stops it from bogging. I’m going to be adding a “carb cleaner” fluid to the gas as well to help clear it up.
