Going stock ignition..need help...

tested the MSD box and it tested bad...just to be sure I want to hook up the ignition system like it was from the factory to see if the car will start...I just did a cam swap and have yet to get the car started....I want to get some oil under pressure into the motor before too long.....I'm looking in the book and its pretty vauge about how to wire the coil/dist to the car...there are two pairs of quick disconect pink and white wires comming out of the coil...I know one of the pink wires comes from the ignition box and one of the white ones goes to the tach....where do the other two wires go...I was looking for engine bay pictures to see if I could figure it out but no luck....the MSD guy just told me red is positive and white is negative....so there are two +'s and two -'s hooked up to the coil???? Car is in the sig...THANKS!
