Distributor and Coil Wiring

I am upgrading from the older larger coil in cap style distributor to the newer smaller, remote coil distributor. I have purchased the gray and black (aftermarket) connectors for the coil, the 4 prong ignition module connector along with the 2 prong ignition module connector. I replaced everything inside the distributor, new accell module and external coil. I used nothing old other then the housing of the distributor. I now need to verify that I am going wire these connections correctly.

I have looked at several other threads and I am not understanding the wiring as explained. This is what i have determined from the various other threads. Is this right?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Those pin-outs are correct.
