Need Help Getting Fired Up

OK - I have 12V at the ECU and 12V at the ballast resistor - Not quite sure I have the coil right. I have the blck/yellow wire going to the negative on the coil. For rough hot wiring purposes, can I run right from the battery to the positive on the coil?

Also, does it matter which side of the resistor I've got those wires connected to?
