coil wiring and other bits and bobs on a 16v conversion

Hi people, got the engine in, engine turns over.  Seem to have no spark.  does anybody know which wires go where on the coil.?  I only have two connectors. A green and a black with a black and white wire.  Should the black be on the positive or negative side of coil?

Also my lift pump only fires intermittantly, i have a new relay.  can i run the wire from somewhere else.  Currently running from a thick red and yellow wire in the fusebox.

My mfa doesnt seem to function at all.  Just getting a clock.  Does the mfa only functions when the car is running?  Really need a mobile sparky in s.london if i dont get this running soon.  Anyone know of one?

green goes to negative side should have a big white block connecter on it.black and black/white goes to positive side.

pump should prime for 2 secs before it fires up then runs constant untill you turn it off.

I am scratching my head cos I don't understand the first post:

HOW MANY WIRES?

HOW MANY CONNECTORS?

WHICH wires connect to the smae connector?

i didn't spot that but the wires should be as above

there iare two spade connectors.

one has a green wire

the other has two wires, one black and white, the other just black.

Is there any way to power up the pump from the coil or dizzy? Because there is a similar red with yellow stripe wire i have going from fusebox to the lift pump.  I will use this wire to go from the lift pump to the main fuel pump also.  Sound about right?

Cheers for clearing it up, yep that's the right connectors. Yes, basically the fuel pump relay is wired along the same circuit which feeds the coil (terminal 15). Fuse box to lift pump is the other side of the relay, and the +12V feed is red/yellow. I don't have a wiring diagram for the later cabby (which has a lift pump and a main pump) but I can't see any issues with powering both pumps from the same circuit which goes from the fusebox to the rear of the car.
