Need Voltage info for V12 coil pack Ignition Trigger and Ignition Change (a/b)

I am trying to troubleshoot my coil pack and got all the signals fiigured out but need to know two signals

1. Ignition change - is this GND, Vcc (12 or 5V)
2. Ignition Trigger - is this GND, Vcc (12 or 5V)

I can then jerry rig and manually test the coil pack. Jerry used to build and sell testers but he is no longer doing them. I have a spare transformer

Also it would be nice if someone knows the part numbers for the connectors.

N91 - Voltage Transformer:

Pin4/5 - 12V Supply Voltage - Connected to Battery
Pin 7/8 - 23V Aux Voltage
Pin 9/16 - 180V Ignition Voltage
Pin 11/14 - Ground
Pin 12/13 - 12V - Battery Voltage
Chassis - Ground

N92/1 and N92/2
Pin -1 Ignition Trigger CYL-1
Pin -2 Ignition Trigger CYL-2

Did you ever figure out the signal voltages?
Where is the source for that electrical diagram? The diagram is new to me and super educational. It gives me a much better understanding of the ignition "transformer".
Do you happen to know if the pins 4&5 on N91 are on circuit 30 (constant power) or circuit 15 (switched power)?
