The diagram I posted above makes this graphically clear. A picture is worth 1000 words, etc.

The black wire with blue stripe should be the tach wire. But I "should" also be rich and handsome.
That leaves the pink wire for the other chore. But rather than taking my educated guess as gospel, I suggest you wring-out the wiring in some way.

This is also on the diagram I posted above.

Incorrect. The proper Duraspark I coil uses a very specific coil with a "slip-on" horse shoe style connector. It doesn't have threaded connections, and has no way for ring terminals to connect to it. The SMP part number for the Duraspark I coil is FD477.
