I don't know if your's is anything like mine ( a 1980) , but I had a little thingy problem with not having a ground connection on my coil inside my distributer cap. It sure caused me some grief which I couldn't figure out for a while. It did burn up the coil under the dist. cap.. I got stuck at least once with that problem...
