I've just had mu DM6Arebuilt ..in that process the electronic ignition was removed and points put back in.
I had the two wires from the distributor labeled..and now starting from scratch...
there is now just the one terminal on the distributor ....I have positive ground
anyone able to give me a simple instruction on how to hook up

The only wire I have connected so far is from the sport coil positive to the clamp bolt

First of all, remove the connection you made to the clamp bolt. You may want to check that the clamp is well grounded though.
Then, assuming your coil is for positive ground, connect from ignition switch to negative terminal on coil, and from positive terminal on coil to terminal on distributor.
