Coil wires

Ok, this is a dumb question but I lost two wires. I have an 87 TPI motor and while I was putting the MSD on I lost two of the coil wires. I hooked up to the big pink and the skinny pink but I can't find the other two or the connector that is supposed to go to the coil. I swear they are not behind the engine or distributor or anywhere else but they have to be somewhere. Where do these two wires connect? Any sugestions? I know stupid

Thanks,
Tyler

On my 88 the big pink and white goes to the wire harness next to intake which runs to throttle body etc. The small pink and another white wire goes to distributor.

There is a small pink and white coming out of the distributor but they are pluged into a connector and don't have anywhere to hook up to. Does your small white and pink come straight from your dist. to your coil with no other connections? Does anyone have the wiring schmatics for an 87 TPI GTA? The ones in the tech pages stop at 86. Thanks for the help,
Tyler

Yes the small white and pink come straight from my dist. to my coil with no other connections. The large pink and white runs from the other side of the coil to the large wire harness that runs from behind the motor to the front of the motor on top between valve cover and intake.
