Have you put the rotor arm in?

The black should go to a common ignition controlled feed as well as to the coil and the module. Black is always a switched live in Ford looms. The Black/Green goes to the little terminal on the starter solenoid so it is a cranking feed to give a boost when starting.

My dizzy had an earth (1 of the 3 wires).

i used the diag posted by Bob but colours were totally different on the plug i had. i just followed the order and it worked OK.
