Hi the last picture with the 2 plugs and resitor go to the coil I know that as in the middle of refitting a one in a sierra which has the same ignition on it I have looked the rest of the wiring disappears into the loom It may be easier to use your standart dizzy and points

Points dizzys are c**p
Taken from the net somewhere:
A. Brown - Earth
B. Green - To the coil negative terminal, if your car is fitted with a tachometer, you can connect this wire to the original wire that runs between the tacho and the coil negative terminal.
C. Black/Green cranking feed. Connect to the appropriate terminal on the starter.
D & E. Black - Common ignition feed connect to the coil positive terminal this should pick up the "ignition on" live which will be via the ballast resistor.
Black/Red & Green/Yellow both connect to the multiplug on the distributor.
Might be to some help. I would scrap the loom and make my own from scratch, but that's just me.
Good luck!

Re: wiring the 2.0 pinto
I have had an Allison electronic ign on various Fords for 25 years now ... never missed a beat , set and forget ,.....ditch the points . Don't get me wrong , points were fine in their day , but why would you bother now when you don't have to
Sometimes I talk to myself ... and we both have a good laugh

Re: wiring the 2.0 pinto
Ah, and when I got mine, the colours never quite matched any diagram I could find, so some spade connectors and a bit of trial and error might be needed. You can probably work 3 of the 6 out, was a long time ago now so can't really remember.
