converting points to hei on a chevy 283

so wait one wire goes from coil to ign switch the sec goes from the coil to the starter right?

Depends. Has the starter been replaced? If not, both wires, to coil. If so,(most rebuilt /replaced starters eliminate one post, on the solenoid. Three wire connections, on solenoid, don't worry about the second coil wire. If four connection, hook it up.Personal, never used the second wire...
