wireing up my coils 78 gs550e

Starter button won't have anything to do with the coils. By current breaker you mean the kill switch?
Generally speaking, the coils get their power from the kill switch. This can sometimes be in a roundabout manner if there is an electronic ignition involved, though.
Are you on points or electronic ignition?

Its a points system, and I meant to say contact breaker at least that's what the manual called it. The bike has two wires coming off the bike from under the motor, and another coming from the controls on the handle bars. I just need to know weather to hook up the one from the handle bars to the negative or the positive prong on the coil, or if it even matters what way they get hooked up.
Yes, it will matter. The contact breakers (aka points) need to go to the negative side and the wire from the bars goes to the positive side (assuming that the wire is from the kill switch). This wire should red/white, I think?
Wires from the coils to the points should be white and black/yellow, possibly?
