 OK you've lost me here.  what does this mean?

Ign.  This goes to the 'ickl bulb on your dash.  This is connected to
the ignition circute, and supplys the field coil's with power to prime
them. 

The Case this goes to your engin ground, and is where all the current
comes from. 

Remember current flows from - to +, not + to -.
