He has positive ground, so the points switch connects the positive side of the
coil to ground.  Hook up the points to + on the coil.

So the current flows from positive to negative, right?  Then you would want
the wire from the points to the coil to go from the points (positive to
ground) to the negative on the coil, right?  Somehow I'm getting something
backwards here...   Like driving on the wrong side of the road..  ;-)

Cheers!!

  Jim, points go to ground.  In this case, he has positive ground.
