Now that the white/pink wife is disconnected from the coil, the wiring has lost its ballast resistor. Everything seems to be fine except that the coil is a bit too warm (but not hot) to the touch.
When I put my MS3/4 coil in, I did not lose any connections to the coil, the black lead from the lumenition took the place of condenser, the red to the fuse box, and as my system is ballasted no external resistor was used.
I'm only curious as the coil being used needs the car ballast or the supplied ballast resistor.
Hi Mahesh - you are right, the MS3 does come with the ballast resistor but the concensus seems to be to ditch it and bypass the car's ballast wire. All I can say at the moment it that it transformed the car's ability to rev up smoothly and not with a very noticeable stumble as it was before. Also, I tried to fit the provided ballast resistor inline to the coil + terminal but the car would not start at all.
I do not understand your phrase 'the red to the fusebox' - so you bypassed the coil and fitted the red wire from the ignition module straight to the fuse box?
