problems on HEI install

I am putting a large cap Hei dist with coil on top, on my sd tpi using a custom harness and am having some issues wiring it up because of the custom setup in a Jeep wrangler. I was able to wire up the 4 wire to the engine harness, its the other three wire plug, and on the coil other then the Tach terminal that im not sure about. This is the first time i had done one of these and did some searching but couldn't find the right info.
Thanks for your time

Pink 12v is switched ignition hot while in, key on and and cranking position.
