Escort Ignition

hey guys,
need a few pointers for the escort that im building. i am replacing condenser, points, button, cap, and coil im changing over to a resin coil. But i need to know how to wire the coil in as my new shell doesn't have one in there and i forgot to take not of it when i pulled the last one out. So if anyone has any pics and pointers on how to wire a new coil in please help me out.

    You need to check if the coil is stright 12v or ballast.
    Coil + to ign switched + (with no ballast resistor)
    Coil + to ballast resistor (if ballast coil)
    Coil- to distributor (points/condensor wire)
    Ballest resistor has 2 connections 1 to ign switch + and the other to coil +
    There may also be a wire from starter solenoid direct to coil + no matter if ballest or not, this is to aid the loss of voltage when starter is engauged.
