if you've only got the green wire with the original coil connector (ignoring the suppressor), then you're missing a black wire (ignition switched 12V feed to coil)

The negative wire (green) is on the engine loom. The black wire (positive) is on the main body loom.

As it looks like you are putting the engine into a kit car (from that picture), you will probably have to run a new wire from the ignition circuit.

Gav each pair of prongs are the same mate so you have + x2 on one side and - x2 on the other mate...
