Also, the black wires need to be tucked in tight. Hub of flywheel will burn through them too.

There is a special ring tool used to set the coils but if you don’t have it, no problem.  You can set them properly by lining up the edge of the coil heels flush with the small machined protrusions on the mag plate.  A small straight edge will help in getting this done. Just be ready to enlarge the holes in them as some aftermarket coils don’t fit worth a damn.

If the blue (hot) wire is too long, you might be able to pull it in a bit between the coil and condenser to get rid of any slack. The black (ground) wire can be tightened up by rotating the terminal on the end of it where it’s fastened to the coil. Also make sure the condenser leads are folded right down so they don’t contact the flywheel and the 0.020″ point gap is set while the points follower is on the highest part of the cam. The cam is marked ‘TOP’ on one side and this side must face up.
