    I think it's on the plug on a mk2 isn't it? So you would need abother pin on your plug

    If there is a spare slot in your plug you could just get a pin from another and slot it in, that way you'd only have to run the one wire to the coil with ouch changing plugs this is how I done it on my mk1 fiesta that uses the same kind of plug

    Yes a pin from a scrap car/plug and run a wire to your coil. Easy peasy especially if you're doing a dash swap.
