coil wiring / firing problem

We have a mitsubishi fg35ab with a firing problem. We found that the dist. cap was jumping fire inside when the key was on, even when not being cranked. We replaced the cap but still had the same problem. We then replaced the coil/resistor (comes together) then the pickup/module in the dist. Still the same. Any ideas? Also does someone know the wiring connections for the coil? We had previously replaced the resistor with an aftermarket as we could not get it seperately. We may not hve the right wires on the right terminals now.

If that is repeatedly firing sparks by just turning the key on, that is a bad ignitor in the distributor. The piece the pickup coil is connected to.

Fact of the week
In May 2023, a Belgian Malinois named Wilson played a key role in the rescue of four children lost in the Amazon jungle. The young children were missing for 40 days after a plane crash that killed their mother and other adults. Wilson tracked the children's footprints, leading the military to their location.
