How would this coil be wired to the distributor?
It is probably a positive ground system. If so, I believe the positive terminal on the coil would go to the points on the distributor. If it is a negative ground system, the negative would go to the points.

Regardless of polarity, If that big terminal closest to the block is a resistor, it connects to switched power, the one connected to it on the left connects to the starter solonoid trigger terminal to give full voltage during cranking, and the right one goes to the distributor.
