On a 4-AC electronic distributor, what do the red and green wires go to? I'm tryin to convert my 4-AC from points to electronic.

this is the one with igniter on the side?
from memory, i think red goes to +12V, green goes to the coil -ve and the two black wires go to the pickup inside the dizzy...
but don't quote me on that

Cool. yeah i know there are 2 that hook up inside. I thought that they would go to the coil. But wasnt 100% sure. I'm still not by your "dont quote me comment".
Can anyone else verify this?

cos i can't gooutside and look at one right now 
i'm pretty sure it is the right way to hook it up tho..
red should connect to +ve (tho maybe not coil +ve.. noise issues?) and green has nowhere esle to go..
oh, the ignitor earths thru the dizy to the block, so make sure the metal to metal surfaces are clean.. esp the hole in the ignitor that has a metal bush..
maybe people don't want to admit they still have a 4AC in their spinter?
