The black from the distributor goes to the - side of the coil.

The red from the starter go to the + side of the coil. There's also a yellow wire that splits from a white fabric covered wire at the top of the firewall: 1/2 goes to the same terminal as the red on the starter, and the other 1/2 goes to the + side of the coil along with the red wire from the starter.

I'd buy some new points by the way. Those condensors have a way of getting "old" when they've sat for a while. In fact for about $40 you can get new points, rotor, cap, wires and plugs for a chevy block at any parts store. You'd be pretty damn sure to get your truck running with that stuff at hand.
