Does it have any manafacturer parts numbers stampted on it?

That and google often brings up something

it says BAE504 on it. cant find much on google

It will just need to pick up the pulse same as on any other coil won't it? The - terminal will give you that.

there are 4 wires going into it tho and I cant see a - terminal.

its a bestek leccy ignition.

Looking up that code I get

http://www.cistrading.com/page3/page14/3.htm

It shows up quite a few cars that use that same coil. You could try looking at the Haynes manual for one of those cars....

Cheers.

maybe a better question is where does the - terminal on a coil normally connect to?

The - terminal normally connects to your distributor
