Got any pics of both coils? Thinking out loud here is the original coil marked with the + or - symbols next to the connection points?

Also does the original have the external ballast resistor mounted with it as well? Does your new coil mention with internal or external ballast, most older versions of after market coils indicate this?

Stock coil had no markings
After market did and instructions only mentioned ballast for points setup. I got the coils swapped out and truck lost the miss it had seems to run a lot better now

How did you rewire the 4 wires to a 2 wire coil??

Here is a site with some wiring schematics to compare with your OEM coil.
Another question what are the colors of coil's wiring?
Do you have any pictures of the OEM coil?
