Well it's been off the road for ages and I'm at a loss now and getting tired of it.
I have a working coil tested it on the car and it produces a spark but the loom doesn't seem to be powering the coil much (getting 6v) the alarm is fitted and doesn't control any part of the ignition coil so thats out of the question so I am stuck with no car and it's getting darker and colder and I am so close to quitting now.
Nope luckily just melted the plastic plug with the wires in it and fell out it's ok now I hope can't be arsed to work on it during the cold months ahead.
BA3 is diamond white, So I would say you have got the wrong colour
In fact there is a list of the Ford colours on here.
