How do I wire up an HEI Disributor?

I got an HEI distributor for $10.00 while up in St. Paul visiting my brother.

My car originally didn't come with this style distributor. What terminals are for what? It has the 4 blade terminals on the chip (like the one in the pic) and the 2 terminals from the coil.

I know which wire is the hot wire from my wiring harness (pink), and which one goes to the tach (white). But where do they go in the chip and where do I hook up the coil etc.?

That appears to be the igntion module inside the distributor, under the rotor.

Um... Yea,

so what wires get hooked up to where to make it work. There are the 4 prongs on the chip under the cap and the two on the coil.

I know the coil gets hooked up to the power wire, and the tach wire, but I also need to know how to tie in the chip.
