HEI Conversion wiring question

Hello All,

I know, not another hei tread, I could not gain a clear picture from some of the post I found.

Working on a 74 Duster and trying to set up a ready-to-run hei distributor. I was getting ready to splice the brown and dk blue wire at the resistor and started to get confused. Once I splice these wires together am I good or do I need to run a lead to the (+) of the coil from the splice. I was under the impression that splicing the brn and dk blue wire would eliminate the resistor and icu and everything would be good. Then I started reading post that didn't come out and say you needed to run a lead to the coil but it sure sounded like it.
