OK your car shipped 15/02/1985 and the change in ignition setup dates from 09/1985 the coil and transistor box looks like the earlier type [ a coil A0001584503 or transistor box A0025452632 part no might confirm this] Couple this to wiring that's been horsed about may mean "little hands" have done some mods previously- which might explain the non running/ignition problem. Running the standard coil without the ballast resistors might explain the arcing for example- difficult to diagnose at a distance.
Ballast resistors are going to look like this if present.
