After a five-minute page-through of the 81 WDM here are my wild guesses:

The lambda test point (duty cycle of the frequency valve) is a red wire, though it looks to be an insulated female near the left hood hinge and brake booster. Where's your coil?

Green comes out into the engine compartment for underhood lamp, an option. Can you check to see if the green is battery hot (without key on)?

Pretty complete description of your vehicle's systems; CIS k-jet lambda California. My WDM shows MPG ignition (three wire distributor) as an option too. Still can't decipher where Volvo thinks the coil is on the 81. On my 79 it is on the passenger side. On my 83, it is on the driver's side.

By the way, there are a lot of other green wire possibilities out there-- brake failure lamp, oil gauge sender, A/C compressor, etc. but I presume you know what is not working and have eliminated those suspects.

Got to get you a camera for Christmas, Doug.
