I think you can follow the path of electricity up through the distributor. The problem for someone new to model A's is seeing where that path is insulated from the body of the distributor. Those insulated places are important so the elec. doesn't go to ground at the wrong place. The only place it should go to ground is at the stationary part of the points. Study the distributor diagram in the Bratton's catalog on post 29 and you will figure it out.
