Big wire goes on the big terminal(ha ha). Coil wire goes on the "r" terminal, I think it is yellow. Wire from the body plug< from inside the cab, goes to the"s" terminal, I think it is purple. If you have Hei, do away with the coil wire, and replace the resistor wire from in the cab with a non resistor wire to supply a full 12 volts to the dizzy.

your tailight harness starts from a plug on the ds of the firewall right behind the valvecover. It runs the length of the framerail and has a similar plug in the rear as in the front
