From the module the red and blue wires go to the dissy pick-up, black is earth, white is positive & coil positive (via ignition switch), white / black trace, coil -ve & tacho (RVI Type).

The info above came from the factory metro W/S manual. I think that it is for a lucas module. It sounds like yours might be the Aldon Ignitor module. Any chance of a pic?

I have the wiring diagram in my computer for that one (somewhere)

but i can tell you that both wires go to the coil,,, & if it don`t work one way round then it will the other way round



true

lol thats easy.. i actually brought up a pic of my old race engine just now and saw it went to the coil, all i gotta do now is zoom in as to which goes on pos and which is on neg.. how hard can it be

right, try white-black to negative and white-yellow to positive side first.
