The wires from the points are generally a black and a green. One for each coil. Also, the coils should have a single power supply that is switched by the handlebar kill switch. Also, the wires from the points are usually found on the bottom right of the engine and routed to the rear of the engine.

Wire (usually black) from points on lefthand side goes to whichever coil has sparkplug wires to two outside plugs.

Wire (usually green) from points on righthand side goes to the other coil haing sparkplug wires to two inside plugs.

Good Luck! :)
