Need help from some one smarter then me

so i got a 78 Subaru brat for $100. the engine that was in it was ran hot so its shot and thats that. the guy i got it from had another Subaru of a different year and took that engine out to put it in mine.

 

so here is the problem i have no spark coming out of the coil. i think i have the power hooked up to it right. i have a new coil and voltage reg in it. the out disruptor has one wire and the new engines has a cord with 3 wires on the end of it.

 

i know right now its all in the wiring and have no idea on what to do or how to hook it all up.

 

i will take so pics when i get back to the shop. if any one can tell me how to bypass anything or what now a big thanks is in order.

 

if theres any info needed you can email me. i.s.a.n.e._.p.r.e.s.t.o.@hotmail.com take the . out

the 3 wire distrubtor will need a ignitor box or the single wire distrubtor has points and will be easy to wire. When you turn on the key. you supply + to the + side of the coil ( 8VOLTS), the -SIDE OF THE COIL goes to the dist. When points close, coil loads when points open field collapses and spark will come out of coil. use the point dist. original equipment till you get it running and can enjoy or find out what you have or need.
