    PS. You only need one wire each from each coil going to the bottom. Points wire goes to the caps so only one wire is required. Can pick up ground under the cap screws to help with the rats nest of wire. The coils run either the top or bottom cylinders. To find out which one set the points & rotate until the points start to open. Now stick a screwdriver in the plug hole to find which top or bottom cylinders have the pistons close to the top of the bore, simple! The pistons that are on top go to that set of points & coil.
