i am currently hooking up elec ignition to my 18RG
need a few q's andwered
where do these plugs all go, {from left to right if possible}
far left is to coil obviously
and from left is single wire only
middle is 2 wire, and one of them goes to the black ended green plug
and where do the 2 green plugs go
should i run my ballast resistor thats already on there

you dont use a ballast resistor.
You need a coil designed for electronic ignition (with ingitor), otherwise you'll burn out the coil.
the two ring terminalled connections go to the coil. The terminal with two wires is the positive, and the single wire black is the negative.
The two green plugs are easy 
im pretty such each of those plugs has only one wire, correct?
If so... then the left hand green plug (which goes to teh coil positive) is IGNITION...
and the right hand green plug (which goes directly to ignitor and nothing else is TACHO OUTPUT.
With regular points ignition the tacho wire is connected to teh negative of the coil... you can still do this, but its more accurate using the TACHO output of the ignitor.

got it going, b4 your post anyway, just slid back the sheath on the wires, hmmmm, black wire, negative obvoiusly, and the other must go to the positive
i got the standard replacement coil for a RT142, brand new {$25 too  }
so should i remove the stock corona ballast resistor, if i dont what will happen, will satan come get me, hope so, i need to have words with him

no - you'll just get crappier spark.

I could probably give you info on how to use a Bosch ignitor readily availiable from SuperCheap if you like.
I use one along with a coil off a Tercel (small transformer type) on my 21R.
Works very well.

well the ballast resistor in the standard setup has ingition going to one side, and the other to the coil positive, IIRC
Basically take off the ignition side and hook that up to where i said IGN wire is above
