Default Fitting/wiring Group A Coil on 4x4 Sapphire

If i remember rightly when i fitted a Grp A Coil to my 3dr the old coil only had + & - wires & king lead so just put some spade terminals on the wires & job done, my 4x4 Sapphire that i've only had for a few weeks has some extra wires 2 green wires come out of the loom & go into some sort of resistor ( as in photo ), then also the bolt that holds the old coil to the body has another bit earthed to it with 2 black wires going to a similar looking black rubber thing ! You should be able to see in the photo's.

Can some one tell me what these are for & do i need to keep them with the new Grp A coil.

The 2 extra green wires that come out of the coil loom & go into a resistor look like they may have been added at some point as the loom has been cut into & tapped up to add the wires,well thats what it looks like. Just trying to tidy things up in the engine bay as the wiring is untidy !





Its coming along slowly,got some Ahmed springs to fit next week.

Cheers Simon.

The black flat one is a noise suppresor to stop radio interference, not seen one of the other ones, just untape and see what it is joined to, probably just another can't see what else it could be here.
Best to keep them as some ignition systems can even interfere with the ecu, evenm the abs ecu!!
