Welcome to the forum. I moved your thread to the proper sub forum.

You must have the gap on the points open to the proper width/range when the lobe on the center distributor cam presses on the fiber block of the points. Or set it with the dwell angle And you need to connect the electrical wire.

A generic Google search on "ignition points installation" should shed some light for you. You could also seek help at the more active 2002 forum:

Good luck!
