what you have there is a dist set up with 2
pickups how this system worked was 1 was for
start and 1 was for run

one side is power and the other signal you just
need to trace the wires 1 will go to both pickups
and than there will be 2 1 from each pickup this is
the signal wires power and 1 of the other wires
with ohm meter you will see 1 wire has power and
1 does not power to the wire that feeds both and
use 1 of the others for the signal try both and
see which runs the best

they started that crap around 1976 with the dual
pickup dist's
