Want to fit a Lucas Sport coil as I've done so much else to the engine I might as well get the ignition right. Running Luminition magentronic. Do I need one for ballasted ignition or not? Car is 1989.

Look for a pink wire and and a yellow/white wire going to the coil. One has a ballast resisitor but I can never remember which.

You mean all those wires I pulled off when I took the engine out, 14 months ago???! I'm sure I'll find it somewhere...
