from what it looklike there is a wire missing from the ballast. the a3 com and lamp wire go to the light bulb socket. the 120v is the power from the wall, but their should be just a COM wire from the ballast also. and you ground to the box youmount all that into.

It looks like all the wire is 10 Gage but I could be wrong. After you figure the Gage and thread(thread is the copper wire itself you want to match the thread) you could go find the wire and cut it as needed and alakazam problem solved.

FYI:
in the picture, the 4 wires coming out of the core are 120V, LAMP, A1, A2.... the 3 wires coming out of the Ignitor are A1, A2, A3COM. the Core A1 is connected to the Ig A1 and the Core A2 is connected to the Ig A2, thats how it came.
