Help ignition wiring!

Hi Guys, I just started doing a 12a swap into my toyota starlet and I searched in the forums how to wire the stock coils with the ignitors and I couldn't find anything.

The mechanic that is doing the swap in my car doesn't know for sure how to make the wiring, so could any of you illustrate us with a small drawing how to do the wiring ?

Thanks in advance.

Igniter connectors are T shaped. The top of the T is negative, the bottom is positive. Front igniter is leading, with a stock Yellow/blue wire from negative terminal to the negative terminal on the leading (rear in stock position) coil. Igniter on the side of the distributor is trailing with a Yellow/green from the negative terminal to the negative terminal on the trailing (front in stock position) coil. Positive terminals for both igniters have stock Black/white wire direct to the positive terminal on the respective coils. A wire from the ignition switch that has power when car is on connects to the positive terminal on both coils. The stock tach gets its signal from the negative terminal of the trailing coil.

Section B1 in this wiring diagram.

Thank you for your input, but there are no wires at the moment attached to any of the igniters nor the coils. We will have to do all the wiring ourselves!

I think the link to the manual will do

I know you have no wires. I was just letting you know what the stock configuration was. If you run your wires like I described you are good to go.
