1.6 pinto does it make a difference ?

[twinturbo]

Br = ground
Black/Red = Hall sensor on Dizzy
Green/yellow = Hall sensor on Dizzy
Green = not use
Black/green = Live whilst cranking
Black = Ignition live

1.8 and 2.0 use ESC units 1.6 uses a basic TFI unit.

Green is deffinetly a coil wire because it has the coil plug on it

[twinturbo]

Yeah, sorry, I totally missed a solder point on the diagram... The diagram was making no sense till I spotted that.

So could I put the ignition live and live while cranking to starter solinoid

No, the starter solenoid is only live during cranking, the minuet you let off the key your engine would cut out.
