Roger,

I too have been having a rough time with the wiring on my 1980
Spitfire (also with a Lucas amplifier module).  The dpo took some
liberties with the wiring, but it has run okay for years despite
his innovations.  But the coil gets 12v with the ignition on instead
of the required 6v, so I am trying to put things right.  At any
rate I can tell you where the white and black/white wires from
my amplifier module were connected.  The white went to coil positive
and the black/white went to coil negative.  There is a separate
connection directly to the distributor (blue and red in a black
sleeve I think) with a fitted plug that cannot be mistaken for
anything else.  Remember, SOMETHING is wrong on mine, but I don't
THINK it is the connections from the amp module.

Good luck,

Tim Gaines
'80 Spitfire 1500
