If you're asking about ignition connections specifically:

Connect the negative terminal on the coil to the side connector on the distributor

The positive battery terminal to the starter post.

I used a light switch as my "key" so I didn't have constant power to the point. To wire that you have a second wire to the positive batteey terminal (or piggy backed on the starter) that goes to one cnonection in the light switch, and the other connection goes to the + connection of the coil.

The engine needs to be grounded as well to the battery for the starter to work. The battery was usually grounded to the frame, with a copper braided wire from the bell housing to the frame.
