2E2 wiring/vacuum pipe cluster

Recently got my first car, an 89 Caddy 1.6 (2E2). I have recently tried to work out what my cluster of wires do! To no avail, I'm hoping you can help! Vacuum pipes I will be using the diagrams to sort those…here are images of the wiring though…

And should there be any pipes on the intake?

Any help would be much appreciated, the little white bit with the small bit of wire is the choke earth I think, no idea where it should go to though!

Also, the number on my distributor is 027905205J, what type/model is this? I want to get electronic ignition, but obviously need to get the correct one!

Would have thought an '89 engine would already have electronic ignition? '83 Golfs still on points must have been some of that VWs sold with points?

Nope she has points! Not an expensive upgrade but it helps to know which one to get!

I found this, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Bay-Camper-Electronic-Ignition-Kit-Chrome-Coil-/120846326657?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3ACaddy%7CPlat_Gen%3AMK+I&hash=item1c23009b81 …not a clue if it would be compatible or not though!

pretty sure should be electronic ignition by that age, unless vw never upgraded the caddy when they did the golf, cabrio and scirocco but that would be odd!

if the coil has a purple/white wire then it is indeed points, if only black wires then it should be electronic ignition. the purple/white wire is a resistor type and is needed for points coils otherwise they die. some may have some kind of ballast resistor, but i believe this is only really early models

to convert it is simple, change coil & dizzy for mk1/2 1.6 with electronic ignition, fit the tci unit and loom from all of the above, finally add a proper ignition live feed to the coil and bin the purple/white wire. the cap, arm and leads need to match the coil donor.

Nope its points! Purple and white wire is there! I have an accuspark kit but need to get it fitted!
