TooleyS15 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Wiring a new aftermarket coil.

Gents do I connect the positive and negative to the coil from this elec con that connected to the old coil, or do I connect it prior to the gold transistor thing?

I'd have thought after the power transistor too just like the old coil. Give the grounding points around that area a good clean too while you're there as mine failed to fire when the grounding point to the power transistor was dirty
