Xflow Electronic Ign - Connectors?
Am in process of setting up my 1600 xflow with electronic ignition.
I have a Bosch, contactless xflow dizzie, which has, surprisingly enough, a Bosch connector. This is a 3-pin blade type connector. See below for
pic.

Now I've found a potential source for replacement Ford ign modules. There is one supposedly for my dizzie (Fiesta XR2 Mk 1). However, it has a
Bosch 4-pin connector. See pic below.
 
Ford_Fiesta_ign_Module_02
So how do you couple the dizzie to this ign module? Or am I missing something?

Thanks, Mr.Whippy. That's a very comprehensive answer.
But it still doesn't solve the main point about connecting a 3-pin, blade socket to a similar 4-pin plug.
Guess I'll have to contact Bosch, for some new terminals.

3-pin to 4-pin
Nah, Mr. Whippy.
Your bottom diag shows the solution, I've now realised.
There's a connecting link between dizzie and module, which provides 3-pin socket (#6) at one end (for dizzie), and 4-pin connector (#4) at the
module end.
Alles klar - many thanks for the diags.
