Default Crane Cams XR-I points conversion question.

Need help hooking the wires up. I have the module installed. I am also upgrading to a Flame thrower 45,000 volt coil.
The yellow/blk wire that comes from the module goes to the neg. coil post.
I currently have the OE resistance wire going to the pos. coil post.
Where does the red/blk wire from the module go?
Do I run the red/blk wire from the module to the ign post in the fuse box? If so do I just leave the OE resistance wire on the pos. of the coil?
Or do I put the red/blk wire on the pos. coil post with the resistance wire too?
TIA

Nevermind I found it. Crane Cams website
shows updated instructions.
Red/blk wire goes to pos. post on coil.
Thing runs ok but still has a stumble that I believe is a defective carb from Edelbrock.
Mechanic will rebuild the idle circuit.
