that pink wire goes to ign, wire it back to ign again that was correct. double check the coil has 12V at keyon, that is usually what is wrong with no spark on conversions.

Some vital info on ignition.
The dizzy is sending on-off signal to the ignition module when the hall effect sensor is activated.
The ignition module switches the coil on-off in time with this signal. The coil charges when -ve is connected and discharges when -ve is disconnected.
The -ve or ground side of the coil is switched by the ignition module. The coil is permanently +ve on when ignition is on and when cranking.
THE SWITCHING OF THE COIL IS DONE AT THE COIL NEGATIVE = EARTH! The coil should not be permanently earthed!
To test the ignition module and dizzy hall effect sensor:
Find the wire between the coil -ve and the ignition module, disconnect it from the coil and use your test light to connect it to the battery +ve.
When cranking this light should flash on and off.
To test the coil +ve:
Connect test light to coil +ve and battery -ve.
The light should be on when ignition is on and when cranking.
Do these and get back to us and I'll see what else you need to do, ie install a relay to run the ignition from closer to the battery and use the key barrell just for switching.
Good luck.
