MK1 wiring question

[76Rocco@earthlink.net (Curt)]

You should only have two, your '81 has elctronic ignition and therefore does
not require the wire that leads from the starter signal wire terminal to the
+ side of the ignition coil, this was installed on the "79 and earlier cars
that had ignition points and this wire fed full battery power during
cranking as oposed to the lower voltage supplied through the resistor wire
leading from the fusebox, ignition points will burn up very quickly with
full voltage but by them wiring it this way during cranking it gives a
hotter spark while starting.
