Actually the metal case on the coil has no connection to any wire or terminals, so the coil does not need to be grounded. The rubber could be used under the clamp or between the clamp and coil, but I haven't seen any coils like that.

The high tension wire and 2 primary terminals gives you the completed circuit needed for spark to the plugs.
