Ditto - thick green wire is in a two-prong connector by itself.

Bentley 97.61 shows green going to post 1 on the coil. The other green is to the tach. If you don't have a tach, you don't have the other green.

Black and black and white's go to post 15.

The coil is labeled with the numbers.

i hooked up my aftermarket tach to that post. It works great. I have a 84 westy with no tach and i don't trust my ears for shifting.

If you need some help there are a bunch of Vanagon guys in Pittsburgh area. here is a link to there club site.
