PLEASE HELP ASAP!! Alternator, starter & dist. wiring

Can anyone tell me which wires go to the alternator, starter, and distributor. Here's a pic of the harness at the firewall.
Any info will help!! Thanks!
BTW, I'm using a serpentine belt setup. The harness is in my 84TA.

ok, not 100% sure, but violet(purple) goes to the small terminal(closest to block I think)on the starter, pink is coil(dist.), now it gets tricky without a wiring diagram, one of the reds goes to the alt, one goes tobatt+(large terminal at starter) them a brown should go to the alt. and anougher red(maybe pink or pink/blk), you can find wiring diagrams (for an 85, should be the same) here http://www.geocities.com/vtcamaro/Wire-Diagrams.html

Tach wire should be yellow and the distributor wire should be pink or red
