Hi all, could you help me? I am fitting a new coil to my 1960 6 volt ragtop Beetle, when I am standing at the rear of my car there is a harness on the left side of the engine which has 4 wires, one red, one blue, one dark green & one black, there is also a light green cable coming from the condesor. The coil has a positive and a negative terminal and there is also an oil pressure switch, could anybody tell me which cables go to where???? :roll:

Blue/green stripe to the oil pressure switch
Red to positive side of the regulator B+/51 terminal
Blue to 61 terminal on regulator

Green cable from condensor goes to the -ve side of the coil.
