The connections left to right are Coil-, Coil+, Sensor red, Sensor white. Colour-coded twin is run to the dizzy cable, in sleeving, The original dizzy cable, with connector cut off, is used to enter the dizzy. Correct polarity from the dizzy was determined by experimentation. The engine ran well one way and very poorly the other way.
