<VV> coil wiring help needed

[Charles Lee]

I am not certain if this diagram is specific enough for an early model 1963, 
but it may help ?
If any VV'er can add whether or not it applies, or add to this, please chime 
in !

If I can update this diagram, or make another that is more relevant to an 
early model, please let me know that too ?

> I have four wires coming out of the harness near the coil.  Two go to a
