You have discovered the switchgear.
A coax lead, usually green, should connect the points to the switchgear. There should not be any other lead between the switchgear and/or resistors, and the distributor/points.
The resistors are in series. The furthest downstream connection (through both resistors) goes to the coil positive (+).
Of the leads in the four-pin plug on the switchgear, one is a ground, one goes to coil negative (-), one is a signal out for tach and analysis use, and one goes to the junction between the two resistors.
The single lead plug, of course, is from the points.
