That blue wire goes to the condenser. You really don't need it on a buggy unless you have a radio or any other electronic equipment (i.e. CB radio) that doesn't like frequency noise. The blue wire goes from the breakers/points to condenser and that's it. You will need to connect another wire from the negative side of your coil to the breaker tab on the side of the dizzy, where that blue wire is coming off.

You've probably got an earlier ea81 motor with points having swapped from a later model ea81 with electronic ignition (with no condensor).
