Jacobs Ignition Help

I am about to install the Jacob's Electronics FC1000 ignition, and I got all of the connections figured out except for one... in the instructions there are three wires, a Orange and Purple one twisted together, and a Green Wire.

The Orange and Purple twisted one, direct from them:

"These wires are routed together in one harness to form the Magnetic Pickup connector. It will connect to factory pickups or other aftermarket pickups. The Orange wire is positive (+) and the Purple is negative (-). When these wires are used, the Green wire is not used. NOTE: the magnetic pickup cannot be used with vehicles equipped with factory fuel injection!"

The Green wire is, direct from them:

"This wire is used to connect to the points, electronic ignition amplifier output or the Yellow wire of a Timing Accessory. When this wire is used, the Magnetic Pickup connector is not used."

From what I understand, I use the Green wire with my FACTORY TPI set-up correct? And if this is the case, what does it connect to off of my distributor, which is a 1985 INTERNAL coil HEI?

Thanks for all the help fellas,

Brett
