Question xr3i engine with carb wiring problem.

hi,i have rebuilt a xr3i engine and decided to go for the carb option.i have it turning over,but i dont know where the ignition wires go.ie:the distributor wires are going to the coil then i am stuck.i have 3 wires that need to do somewhere.lol.also where does the lead from the alternator go?batt?starter?

the old engine was a zvh turbo(1.8)the loom was cut in several places so i want to wire it up to start off a button for now.the car is a mk4 esc cab.

any help would be great,pics would be fantastic.
