Default How to hook up ignition amplifier

Car was working OK but after radiator change I have starter motor spinning but no ignition, spark plugs do not spark on ignition, I feel that everything is working just the wiring I fooled with and now forget how to hook it up right. So need help to hooking this thing up.

the photos show the ignition amp and the motor side, I do not seem to have a ballast resistor as I cannot locate it, I seem to have three wires going into the taco but two on the wide plug on the amplifier, the green/white wire seems to have been joined to the green/yellow which just floating around which has approx 4 or 5volts on it. If you need more pics let me know

Thanks in advance

It's a no brainer its a later model 5 wire system rather than 6 which some jags came out with. The car still does not start.

But it still worries me that one connection on the wide plug misses out, I have a wire going into the ballist but its doesn't connect to the amplifier wide plug because of the five wire arrangement.

Also BTW not related but what is the circle piece shown in pics, it look like the wires have broken off.
