Do you have a VW workshop manual (Clymer, Gregory's, Bentley, Hanynes etc) ? They all have wiring diagrams.

if the coil is getting hot it is prolly a 7volt coil (YES 7volt) designed to work with a ballast resistor,you need to add the extra wiring for that
set up or get a 12volt coil
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

ok then, do you have the polarity correct?,there is nothing else,12 v to the coil,thru the points to gnd thats it ,the only other thing to check is
the charge voltage should be ~14v

Can it run if the polarity is reversed?
