without knowing exactly what module have its impossable to just guess. This guy handed you a bunch of parts and you dont know if they even belong on the bike. Mick`s suggestion of a new complete system would be the best option

First off thank you all for all your help I think we have figured it out !! Appears the bike has a Dyna s ignition system. I pulled the pick up off last night and clearly on the side of the sticker that has the name. I don't know why it was installed maybe years ago the CDI box fail and they put this in or maybe it was because the bike had a springer front end and they just wanted less wiring I don't know I'm hoping all I have to do is wire one side to the positive side of the coil the blue wire to the negative side and then run power to the coil and crank the engine over.

See if this helps
The Dyna S High Performance Ignition System, designed for Harleys, is a complete self-contained electronic ignition system built with the latest state-of-the-art engineering. This is the same ignition used by top racers over the past 2 decades. The Dyna S is completely housed behind the ignition cover and uses a magnetic rotor with the original spark advancer, so the factory advance curve is maintained.
From the pictures you posted it looks like only the white wire from the "dyna s" is connected to the coil. the blue is just dangling there.
You also don't have a 12 volt power supply to the coil so it will never work without that.

Also the picture 5/5 of a wiring harness looks like it could be for an fuse panel or ignition switch. The 2 heavy red wire are much bigger than what any ignition system would use.
