What is minimum electrical required to start my car?

if left hooked up... wire from battery to positive side of coil... wouldnt the coil keep trying to send "power" to the distributor? ... only asking because I absolutely have no clue and you have knowledge ty

The distributor doesn't connect to the coil, it only connects to the ignition module.
(Unless your current system is not the stock box and distributor)

The distributor sends a signal to the mopar box, and tells it to drop power to the coil.
When it drops the power to the coil you get a spark.

I think what you read might have said it could trash the coil or module.(ign box)
