says in the wiring guide of Fitting a Powersparks Electronic Ignition

Your now ready to connect the wiring. Negative Earth Vehicles

10.Connect the Black wire from the Module with the Male 6.3mm Spade Terminal into the wire you disconnected your points from.
11.Check the Vehicle Wiring on the Coil + (Positive) if you have one White Wire then your coil should be a 12v and connect it as per Picture 1
12. If you have a White/Pink and a White/ Yellow wire on the coil + (Positive) your car has a Ballasted Ignition System See below

Ballasted Ignition Wiring
13. Ballasted Ignition wiring is as follows. The Black wire from the Trigger Module remains the same on the Coil - (Negative) LT Wire
14. The Red Wire from the Trigger Module is Connected to a new 12v Ignition Feed from the Fuse Box.

Converting To A 12v Ignition System
15. You could if you bought a Kit convert the Ignition to a 12v System and then the White/Pink and White/Yellow wires are removed and the new 12v feed onto the + Terminal of the new coil.

Double Checking The Coil
16. How to test the Resistance of the coil, Place a Multimeter across the + and - of the Coil Terminals and a Ballasted Coil reads approx 1.5 Ohms and a standard Coil read approx 3 Ohms

I Recommend doing the conversion to a 12v Coil as the standard Ballast wiring the resistor has been known to overheat and damage the vehicles wiring loom

17. You are now ready to start the engine.

 

 

I just re-read it again twice and obviously need a proof reader to point out where the wiring error is ?

 

 

For some reason I read that completely wrong :-) 

 

Sorry....

Heya all.

Back with a update question. I've now got my cable and the Lucas gold coil like you help me with :-)
The question I now have is this. Can I change the coil over and the new wiring without touching the dizzy ?
Basically I've spoken to Martin and I'm going to get a new vacuum. Also a new electrical ignition.
I don't have a timing light to retime it after.
So could I rewire and fit the new coil then drive it to my mechanic to have him fit the new vacuum and ignition ?

Yes you can run the new feed wire and the 12v coil with your existing points setup
