65 Barracuda electronic ignition, orange box, ballast resistor questions
I took out my stock harness and have painstakingly been comparing side by side with a new Classic Industries front engine forward harness meant to be used with an upgraded electronic ignition. I purchased a new starter relay and voltage regulator (not used I have determined...right?) Things are matching up pretty well. There is a modular plug in the new kit that plugs directly into the Mopar orange box. 4 conductor pins on the orange box, 5 wires going in from the harness. Green wire not used, that's the one that has no corresponding pin. So far so good.
Next question:
The Classic Ind. kit comes with 2 sets of wires which look like they are located to connect somehow to the new ballast resistor. The new Distributor came with a small, simple, 2 wire ballast resistor in the kit. Again, the plugs do not even come close to resembling the ballast resistor wires that are on the old harness (pictured) What is going on here?
Again, thanks in advance for your guys' help.

- You can see in the picture the triangular plug with blue and green. I assume that it goes to the distributor yes? The distributor that I purchased has a 2 wire plug that does not look at all like this. What is happening here?
