HEI connection question

I bought a new 50,000 volt HEI unit from Summit. When I went to coonect the three wires from the distributor to the cap, the wires pulled out of the plastic plug! So, I'm not sure which wire goes where. I'm pretty sure the black wire is a ground. Is the red wire the + and the tan wire the -? I just want to be sure befor I wire it up incorrectly.

Thanks in advance!

Re: HEI connection question

A simple pic of the connector hooked up properly would also work...
Here's what I'm talking about, anyway.
