    make engine run. What goes where?

    I just want to see if this runs. I will connect to small gas tank. 6 volt battery, positive ground. how does coil wiring get hooked up and connected to distributor? can it be ran without water for a minute or so? like i said, i just want to see if it runs, not drive around the block.
