I traded my msd btm for a 7al striaght up to cnicholos. on the side there are 4 wires i have to hook up

coil +coil -pointsignition switch

the points and ignition switch are no problem, i know from my btm. now im sure my btm went into the coil but im not sure which is + and which is -. i still have my other distributor already tapped into the inside (s14 uses internal coils).

also on the body of the 7al near where the rpm pills go in is a sport marked GROUND should i ground this? next to it is a plug for a tach i guess for after market tach. also there is a red and black wire on the other side. this is suppose to go to the battery. do i hook this striaght up to the battery or should i use some other 12v source?
