ITFarmer,
any joy with getting it to run?
Does it have points or an electronic module to replace the points?
That red and black wire coming from your dizzy look very similar to the wires on an Accu-Spark type module.
If so these are pretty sensitive to the Ohms of the coil.
A pic of the dizzy with the cap off will show if it's running points or another system.
Bjorn is correct, the early Holdens with red motors had a resistor wire in the circuit.
Later ones with reds had a ceramic ballast resistor on the bulkhead.
Cheers, Mick.
