cdi ignition coil - how do I wire it?

I'm replacing coils on a '80 Johnson 115 and received my new coils but the wiring has me a bit confused.

The old coil has 3 wires, all built into the coil - spark plug, lead (to magneto I presume), ground. All easily identifiable.

The new coil has 1 post (spark plug?) and one screw.

I believe that, even with a new coil, I will still need a spark plug wire, a lead and a ground. Which goes where?

Most pressing question - is the little metal clip the ground?

Thanks.

Thanks, Boobie. I looked at it again and the more I thought about it knew that had to be the case. Just didn't want to do it wrong and really screw something up. Preciate it.
