[86 GN IN R.I.]

Hello all,
This cannot be right! I have 3 black with white stripe wires coming from the back of my coil pack which then connect to what appears to be 3 grease caps which then connect to a brown wire and 3 different splits which then connect to NOWHERE. Maybe should be grounded?? It is a mess and could be the reason I cannot connect my negative battery cable to the battery without a major spark(firework like). I had checked the battery cables and grounds very greasy but no broken wires. Any help would be appreciated as I want to bring this beauty back to life and start really dumping some money into it lol!
Thanks and sorry for long post
