IIRC, you jut hook a wire coming off the dizzy to the dist side of the coil, but it's been over a year since I yanked the motor out of my #2 '66, so don't quote me. Points dizzys are really simple though.

The distributor wire goes to the - negative side of the coil. The + side of the coil is connected to the hot wire for it from the engine wiring harness. Usually only three wires in that harness, one is the coil hot wire, the others go to the temp sensor and oil pressure sensor.
