1987 Firebird TPI Coil/Tach Harness Question

Hi guys,

I'm trying to track down where the other end of this ignition coil harness connects to. I've been looking at the harnesses in the car, but can't seem to find another connector that would fit this. I originally thought all four coil wires went straight into the main harness, but when i couldn't find the second pink and white wires, i went looking in my parts stash and found this, which has the coil connector on one end. I need to find out where the other end goes, as i believe the white wire is for my tachometer and i'd very much like to hook it up.

Thanks,

That one goes from the coil to the distributor where it plugs into the ignition module

Thanks, I was thinking that might be the case, but wasn't sure. Sadly that doesn't fix my tach problem then. Connecting the signal wire from my Crane box to the other white wire doesn't get it working, unfortunately so i'm back to square one.
