I hope you haven't missed the point here. The pink wire IS A RESISTOR.So it is just a wire I see. I'm used to a ceramic block being used for resistance rather than a wire. Thanks for the tip.
If you put another resistor on the pink wire, you will have incorrect voltage (too low) at your coil.
Maybe I missed your point? Have you replaced the wire from the ignition switch to the coil with plain wire?

Might once have had a compressor on the end of it, or it was there as a ignition cut out.although I did find a thin black wire just hanging off the -ve terminal of the coil connected to nothing (the fast resistor wire was there too). I just threw the extra wire over the shoulder as I couldn't think if where it could connect.

It shows a broken blue(not black) wire coming from the +ve of the coil......it appears that the lower terminal(in the picture) has the (-) marking.

Still don't know what it was doing there....

perhaps car was wired with coil back to front and is still cut off wire
connection of capacitor across +ve and ground
.......no it shouldnt be needed as part of any factory function.

Thanks again for the advice - the internet has made working on cars just that little bit easier.

Always though ""The Story of O"" was longer than that?
