PHOTOS WOULD HELP, learn to take nice clear closeups and learn to crop them to show the section you want.
The "basics" are that there are TWO outputs from the ignition switch into the engine bay. One is "IGN1" which is the "run" line, that is, powered with the key in the "run" position. THAT GOES DEAD when the key is in "start."
The ignition is powered in "start" by IGN2 which feeds full power to the coil in order to provide a hot spark.
Frankly if you have "nothing" now, I would start out with a "ready to run" distributor also known as "Skip White" and a few other names. This is a breakerless, import, all in one setup that only needs a coil to get you going
