If you have a look at my M50 non-starting thread page 1,a link has been posted to a site with wiring diagrams.The link initialy comes up in (I think!!) Russian,but you can find an English version as well.You should be able to find the information there.

You may do if you wire a C101 on the end and it earths it..

Better safe than sorry

Pin 9 (black) is engine speed.
Pin 20 was formerly the earth for a two pin engine temperature sensor, and latterly the power feed for ABS.
A couple of the wires are a different colour on the car side of the plug.
