i cant get my 59 chevy started it truns over but it dont get spark i was wondering if some one can help me out or has a digram on how the wiring should go if some one knows how write back thanks

No spark? Being on this thread, I presume you have gone to HEI. I had an HEI burn through the rotor by not hooking up the second coil ground in the cap. It would spin, no spark. It ran one day, nothing the next. Look for carbon trails on the rotor and a burn hole where the carbon goes to the rotor contact.
Second, I had an HEI that had a cracked wire to the module. When it was wet, or very humid, the wire would not carry current. I found it by pulling the wires and it would run. These wires go from the harness to the distributor. I later changed the module and found the crack in the insulator.
On my old dual point distributor, I had glazing over the points. I filed the points and she went off. I later fixed the glazing issue, a rebuild, and changed to HEI.
Good luck, I know how frustrating it can be.

ya it was running and now it wont start because i tryed to put new wires and i think i might of put a wire wrong but i know i did not from th points the negitive goes to the - of the coil and the postive goes to the ????starter where it say (R) right. and the (S) goes to the ingnition correct but iam trying to start it with out the ingnation just starting it direct to the batt

Need to know what type of ignition you have,,HEI or Points,,,,also be a little clearer on what you replaced and misplaced.
