how many wires does it have matey? possibly 3/4? 1 should be 12v+ possibly red, a IGN + possibly yellow and a earth black or brown. Then there should be another wire possibly lime green that needs to go to the - side of the coil.
Hope it helps pics would be good?

Yeah positive feed, 'sidelights' feed, ignition trigger (often green like the man says) and a ground. Old Vauxhall coils usually have an extra spade terminal on them that you can get a trigger signal from.

iv got a pic here of the wires that come out the back of it. http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu71/eddiesport/ABCD0013.jpg

the wires that you say are there but there are a few extras as well.
cheers

anyone?

[Angus Closier]

Does it have a back light that is powered separately? as there seems to be quite a few wires? As said above the green is to the coil(normally) red is probably positive, black/s earth, yellow or orange ignition.
Google the make and see if you can get any results?
