MSD Box not Sending power to the Coil

So I installed an MSD 6al ignition the other day and I noticed that I'm not getting any spark.

I found out that the box isn't sending any power to the coil. The box is however sending power to the distributer.

So my question is: Does the box just provide power to the coil or does it do more for the coil? If it just provides power to the coil, could I simply connect a 12v wire and setup a new ground for the coil? Or does the coil have to be connected to the box?

So does this mean that no one knows?
