Light blue goes to input side of ballast resistor.
Black or Brown wire goes to coil negative.
Green wire is only used for the 4 pin ballast resistor - not needed.
To find input side of ballast resistor, get a test light and clamp it to the negative battery post, then disconnect both wires from the ballast resistor. Turn the key on and poke the end of the test light into the connectors, whichever one lights the light is the input side and that is the one that you want to use.
I also like to use a piggy back terminal for the one at the ballast resistor. You can find them at NAPA on the electrical rack.
Here's what they look like:

You can stack them on flat blade terminals:

You can stack more than one if needed:
