The wire that goes to the distributor is the ground side of the coil. The other side is the positive side. Be careful if you plan to connect 12 volts to this terminal on the car, as most cars have a ballast resistor between the 12 volts and the positive of the coil. If you connect 12 volts directly to the coil you may burn out the coil. You are better to use a multimeter to check the coil as that will not damage it.

My 92 Subaru would not start. New rotor, cap, replaced fuel filter. No gas getting to filter. When gas trickled in carb, runs like a top. I think the fuel pump out.

Ignition points can corrode over long periods of inactivity preventing them from making contact. If the contact surfaces are flat you can take a folded dollar bill and slide it back and forth between the closed contacts several times to clean them up or you can just replace the points. Try that first then see if you have spark.
SOURCE: coil will not fire
dont replace parts till u kno the answer--start simple 1st like worn distributer cap or bad wire boot------or ignition module-------maybe a fuse or flawed wire-------try to get it scanned by a mobile mech
SOURCE: No spark coming from the new coil.
Google is your friend.
