Smile Manual or instructions needed

I have a Denso igniter coil on my car but it's disconnected. I need a manual or instruction on how to hook this thing up. Please see picture.

Thank you for your help

You're going to have to give us a lot more information given the fact that's a stock coil with a rats nest of poorly executed wiring surrounding it. For starters, we need to know what car you have and what is going on in this setup.

You will need to download a factory service manual, which you can find the link in the FAQ.

Sorry. I should have given more info.

I have an A12 motor in a 1974 Triumph Spitfire. It has a Holley carb and headers. It only has the two lower plugs hooked to a distributor and coil. It was running great but now I am not getting spark at the distributer or out of the coil. I am used to v8 motors and problem shooting them but I am not familiar with the Denso and this setup. It is a bit of a rats nest and I need to clean it up but would like to have it running again.

So, I need a way to problem shoot this thing between the battery/starting solenoid and the coil.

Any thoughts?

See below photos for more info.

Someone has put in one second gen coil and disconnected the trailing plugs. I bet they changed it to direct fire. There are several variations. I can't see the distributor but it would help id what you have. There are two ignitors on the dizzy. One used for the leading plugs and one for that training. They can be stock, gutted, or changed to the GM style depending on the variation of direct fire.

You'll need to do some searching in the first gen section of direct fire. Also, diagram out what you have for coils, plugs, and dizzy/ignitors. Someone more knowledgeable then me will know what you have.

I'd almost be inclined to put it back stock.
