All most right. You can connect either end of the test light to either place, it will not matter to it. I would connect the gator clip to the "+" terminal and stick the pointed end onto the wire connector after unplugging them. Then you set the point plate to where the screw at the top is in the middle of the slot. Then set the moveable part for the other set of points to the middle of its slot. Now FORGET what you saw on youtube!!!!!! Rotate the crank until the "F 1-4" is in line with the timing mark. Now go to where you adjust the point gap and move the points (as adjusting the point gap) until the light just goes out. The timing is set!!! Now go to the "F 2-4" and do the same with the other set. Be sure to move the test light to the other wire though.
