This is a good article with only one small detail in the wiring section that
I think could do with a bit of editing. This article turned up a few days
late for me as I was recently asked about wiring in a S2 dizzy so I had a
bit of a read to check it out.
Could the auto sparks out there have a read for me and see if I've got it
right/wrong.
Extract from the "Wiring it up" section
"Now mount the new coil ( which ain't a cylinder unfortunately ) but ur old
holes should fit the new mounts. Now the PINK attaches to the positive bolt
on the coil and the GREEN on the negative. Once this is done, put the double
adapter on top of the positive+ and on the negative- because if you have a
Tacho you will have to hook it backup.
Once this is done take the two wires off the Ballast Resistor and cut the
connectors off, strip the wires and join the two wires together. From there
connect the positive wire to the positive side of the coil. Now there should
be one connection left over, this is simple an earth from what i can tell so
don't bother connecting it up."
[This next bit is what i found a bit confusing, i think the author is
talking about the original +12v ignition "START" wire that was formally
connected direct to the +ve side of the coil so it should be returned to the
positive side of coil although when the BR is removed the function of the
wire is redundant. I would think if you connected it to the -ve side of the
coil the car would have trouble starting. This wire will have +12v only when
the ign key is turned to the "START" position which is necessary with a BR
fitted which only supplies +8v to the coil but you now have a constant +12v
coming through the joined BR wires with the ign switch in either the "RUN"
or the "START" position.]
"If you forget what your positive wire was don't stress, simple connect one
up to the negative side of the coil and try and start the car. Now if it
starts then you have the right one connected, if not don't worry it doesn't
hurt the distributor in anyway because its just an earth, so connect the
other wire and you should be in business"

The best info for installing the series two bluebird distributor(apart from
the wiser and more experienced Ozdat members) can be found at:
http://www.me.rmit.edu.au/datsun/tech/dist.htm
This provides a simple no bullshit way of installing the distributor from
scratch.
Hope is helps
