Should be only 2 coils with wires running from each coil to either the L1 or T1 spots on the distributor.
Four plug wires then run from the distributor to the plugs.

Think I may have screwed up saying L1/T1, but I don't have my dizzy in front of me right now
Anybody else know what the labels are on the dizzy that the coils run to?
