Andrew:
Issue # 1: Distributor triggering for MSD's; The green wire goes to the center conductor, the violet wire to the shield.
Issue # 2: You can determine which pin is which by using a DVOM and checking continuity to ground on the distributor body.
Issue # 3: Everyone has their favorites, but I use either Weatherpack or Deutsch connectors when adapting the green Bosch 2-pin cable to trigger 2 MSDs'.
